Mr. Mani constructed the dormer at the rear of 40 Lowlands Avenue without obtaining prior approval. When enforcement action was initiated by the council, he submitted a formal application to legalize the structure. Although planning officers recommended approval, the application was opposed by local ward councillor Sarah Cooper, leading to the matter being escalated to the planning committee on April 23.
