Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the appeal scheme upon the character and appearance of the appeal site and the surrounding area, with particular regard to the block wall
  • Parking provision
  • The living conditions of occupants of nearby properties, with particular regard to the effects of heavy goods vehicle (HGV) movements upon residents of properties on the southern side of Woolwich Road
  • Air quality

What decided it

The planning permission granted by Appeal A overrides the enforcement notice to the extent that the permission authorises what is being enforced against, rendering the notice ineffective in relation to the approved development.

the functional and utilitarian appearance of the blockwork walls and operational impacts of HGV movements were outweighed by the principle of the use being acceptable, the site's commercial context, and the absence of significant demonstrable harm to character, living conditions or air quality
