Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development enforced against is development permitted by the GPDO
What decided it
The boiler room was originally built in breach of planning control and the GPDO does not grant retrospective permission; moreover, the physical connections and minimal gap between the structures confirm it is an extension to the main house rather than a permitted Class E outbuilding.
