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 or injury to amenity (ground (f))

What decided it

The fence does not qualify as permitted development because the building operations involved in its construction are unlawful, and no alternative scheme demonstrating an acceptable 1-metre-height replacement was provided by the appellant.
