Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development is a rear-facing dormer roof extension to the second floor or a third-storey extension as specified in the notice (ground (b))
  • Whether the extension constitutes a breach of planning control or benefits from permission or permitted development rights (ground (c))
  • Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach and whether lesser steps would overcome the objections (ground (f))
  • Whether the compliance period is reasonable (ground (g))

What decided it

The extension as built does not comply with the approved plans and no officer approval or permitted development rights have been granted, making the enforcement notice's requirements proportionate and necessary to remedy the breach.
