Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the Council's partial refusal to issue the certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded

The balcony's minor deviation from approved plans (a few metres wider) constitutes a breach of condition rather than substantial deviation, and the 10-year immunity period for enforcement action had not elapsed.
