Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether planning permission is deemed to have been granted by reason of the timing of the Council's decision
- if planning permission is not deemed to have been granted, whether the extent of the building operations proposed would be reasonably necessary to ensure that the proposed dwelling would be safe from flooding, having regard to the requirements of the GPDO
What decided it
The Council's failure to issue a decision notice within the 56-day period required by Paragraph W.(11)(c) of the GPDO resulted in planning permission being deemed to have been granted.
