The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development in respect of the proposal was well-founded, turning on whether the appellant has shown that planning permission is granted for the proposal by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class B of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development in respect of the proposal was well-founded, turning on whether the appellant has shown that planning permission is granted for the proposal by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class B of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)
What decided it
The proposal fails to comply with the 50 m³ volume limit in paragraph B.1(d) of Class B of the GPDO because the total volume of all roof additions and alterations to the original dwelling, including the existing side extension roof, exceeds this threshold.
