Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant an LDC was well-founded, with particular regard to whether the proposed development would constitute permitted development by virtue of Class B, 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 proposed development would accord with the 50 cubic metre limitation of Class B permitted development, as the calculations were not based on external measurements and the complex roof shape prevented accurate determination.
