Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the erection of a balcony enclosure with metal railings constitutes a breach of planning control (ground c)
- Whether enforcement action could be taken within the four-year time limit (ground d and Appeal B)
- Whether planning permission ought to be granted, having regard to the effect on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties (ground a)
- Whether the compliance period of three calendar months is reasonable (ground g)
What decided it
The development has an unacceptable effect on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties through direct overlooking and loss of privacy, contrary to the development plan.
