Planning appeal decision
11 Alexandra Road, Warlingham, Warlingham, Surrey, CR6 9DW
Planning appeal 3275299 at 11 Alexandra Road, Warlingham, Warlingham, Surrey, CR6 9DW (Tandridge District Council) was dismissed on 28 October 2022 by Inspector Douglas L, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, with particular regard to whether the proposal would comprise 'development' as defined at section 55 of the Act, and if it would, whether the proposal would constitute 'permitted development' by virtue of the provisions of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO.
described on the application form as: ‘To create a roof terrace on an existing flat roof (new roof has been installed and is approx. 12ft x 9ft), with composite decking on the floor, to be fitted with frosted glass balustrades to a height of 1100mm to comply with building regulations. No machinery to be installed and the proposed use is for occasional use in the summer months for myself

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, with particular regard to whether the proposal would comprise 'development' as defined at section 55 of the Act, and if it would, whether the proposal would constitute 'permitted development' by virtue of the provisions of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO
What decided it
The proposed balustrades would constitute development requiring planning permission and would not qualify as permitted development under the GPDO, and no planning permission exists for the proposed development.
