Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded

What decided it

The proposed development would not comply with the conditions of Class B of the GPDO as it would join an existing extension rather than the original roof and would not maintain the eaves of the original roof, and would also breach the Class A restrictions on development within 2 metres of the curtilage boundary with eaves exceeding 3 metres.
