Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval was required and, if so, whether it was properly obtained before development commenced
What decided it
Prior approval was refused before development commenced, and as prior approval is a pre-condition to permitted development rights under the GPDO, the development cannot benefit from those rights and prior approval cannot be granted retrospectively through appeal.
