Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: whether the breach of planning control comprising installation of a fascia had occurred as a matter of fact by the date the notice was issued
- Appeal B ground (f): whether the steps required by the notice are proportionate and not excessive, and whether an alternative scheme of vinyl wrapping could remedy the breach
- Appeal B ground (g): whether the period for compliance with the notice is reasonable
What decided it
The concurrent need to manufacture and install replacement windows following removal of the uPVC windows, with an approximate 4-month lead-in time for bespoke timber windows, justified extending the compliance period from 6 to 9 months for window removal.
