Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development
What decided it
The proposal does not comply with the restrictions and limitations set out in GPDO Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AB because the additional storey would be built other than on the principal part of the building and there is insufficient evidence that the floor-to-ceiling height requirement has been met.
