Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant an LDC was well-founded, which depends on whether the proposed roof extensions would constitute permitted development by virtue of Article 3(1) and Class B of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that the appeal dwelling does not constitute a terrace house, and therefore could not show the proposed development would accord with the 40 cubic metre limitation applicable to terrace houses under Class B of the GPDO.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
