Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The implications of the Council having failed to give notification as to whether prior approval was given or refused prior to the expiry of 56 days following the date on which the application was received

What decided it

The Council's failure to determine the prior approval application within the statutory 56-day period and without agreed time extension means prior approval is deemed to be granted under the GPDO.
