Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the compliance period for removal of the unauthorised rear dormer should be extended beyond 6 months

What decided it

The Inspector has no authority to extend the compliance period on a ground (g) appeal as this would constitute granting temporary planning permission, and the total time available (11 months) is reasonable and proportionate.
