Planning appeal 3263188 at 40 Kingfisher Road, Thrapston, Northamptonshire, NN14 4GP (East Northamptonshire District Council *) was allowed on 22 June 2021 by Inspector Harbottle M, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the building operations of inserting 3 roof lights in the rear roof slope, constructing 2 dormer windows in the roof slope of the principal elevation, and inserting 2 roof lights in the same roof slope would have been lawful if begun on the date of the application.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the building operations of inserting 3 roof lights in the rear roof slope, constructing 2 dormer windows in the roof slope of the principal elevation, and inserting 2 roof lights in the same roof slope would have been lawful if begun on the date of the application
What decided it
The dormer windows exceeded the 0.15m protrusion limitation in Class C of the General Permitted Development Order and were precluded from Class B permission because the principal elevation fronts a shared driveway constituting a highway, whereas the roof lights complied with Class C limitations.
