Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would represent permitted development by virtue of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class O of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)
What decided it
The original prior approval application failed to comply with the mandatory requirements of Paragraph W of the GPDO due to inconsistency between the description of development and the accompanying drawings, and this procedural flaw cannot be remedied by accepting revised details at appeal stage.
