    Good to see that NE actually has the resources to take action in cases like this - they are massively under-resourced.

    However, I wonder how much the cost of this to the developer - £14500 - most of which are court costs - is actually a deterrent. That is not a lot for many developments, and I can see that it would be tempting to simply write it off as an acceptable cost.

    There was no mention of whether they developer was required, as a result of this judgement, to add the access tiles and replace the felt as the original licence required either.

      It looks like they might be made to replace the roof lining (otherwise they would be contravening their planning commitments) so that will cost them.
