Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the GPDO
What decided it
The proposed extension width of approximately 5.2m exceeds half the width of the original dwellinghouse (approximately 4.35m), thereby breaching the limitation in GPDO Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A, Paragraph A.1(j)(iii), and therefore does not constitute permitted development.
