Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted under Class AA of Part 1 of the GPDO for the erection of an additional storey, and whether the Council was entitled to refuse on Green Belt grounds
What decided it
The Council's reason for refusal—that the development would be inappropriate in the Green Belt—was not a matter within the scope of prior approval assessment under the GPDO, and permitted development rights are not withdrawn in Green Belts.
