Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether it has been shown that the proposal, which includes works to the front boundary wall, alterations to windows and additional roof lights, is granted planning permission by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development)(England) Order 2015 (as amended) at Article 3, Schedule 2 (GPDO)
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate to the required standard that all proposed works were granted planning permission by the GPDO, particularly the removal of the front boundary wall (which exceeded the 1 m height limit), the repositioned first floor window (which would likely fail obscure-glazing requirements), and the rooflights (which did not clearly satisfy obscure-glazing conditions).
