The valuation experts submitted a brief, but helpful, joint statement with ‘before and after’ photographs appended. They observed that part of the works carried out ‘are not strictly in accordance with the planning permission to the extent that the following changes have been made which will be visible from 24A:

a)

The top level of the roof over the side addition has been raised by around 200mm and the front entrance porch roof has been raised and enlarged to match.

b)

The design of the new boundary fence has been built with the expectation that it will be rendered and match the height of the original boundary fence.

c)

The top level of the rear courtyard window facing 24A has been raised by around 400mm’.

The experts confirmed their agreement that having had regard to aspects of both the consented development and the development as built, they were of the opinion that provided the works were properly completed either as consented or with changes as described [a)-c) above] that there would be no diminution or impact on the market value of no. 24A.
