Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control (ground f)
  • Whether the period for compliance should be extended (ground g)

What decided it

The height and massing of the unauthorised extension caused harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and overbearing impact on neighbouring residential amenity that could not be remedied by cladding changes alone, making full demolition and reinstatement necessary.
