Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • An appeal on ground (e) is that the notice was not properly served as required under s172
  • An appeal on ground (b) is that the breach of planning control has not occurred as a matter of fact
  • An appeal on ground (f) is that the steps are excessive and lesser steps would overcome the objections
  • An appeal on ground (g) is that the compliance period of six months is too short

What decided it

The appellant's personal circumstances and the best interests of her younger child outweighed the limited, non-prominent harm caused by the development, justifying an extended compliance period, but no other ground of appeal succeeded.

the level of harm caused by the development is outweighed by the needs of the appellant and the best interests of the younger child
