Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be permitted development, with regard to the date that the existing building was constructed
  • The transport and highways impacts of the development
  • The external appearance of the building
  • The impact on the amenity of neighbouring premises

What decided it

The building was still under construction after 5 March 2018, as evidenced by the July 2018 Google Street View image showing ongoing skilled construction work, meaning the proposal would not be permitted development under the GPDO.
