Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the compliance period for removal of the unauthorised tipi structure and heating apparatus should be extended from 2 months to 12-18 months to allow for pre-application discussions and obtaining planning permission for a replacement permanent structure
What decided it
The Inspector has no authority under section 174(2)(g) to extend the compliance period as this would be tantamount to granting temporary planning permission, and the appellant had already had more than 4 months to comply since the notice was issued.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
