Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the conversion of the existing loft into habitable space incorporating rear dormer and front Velux windows constitutes lawful development under the GPDO
- Whether the erection of a rear extension with raised platform not exceeding 300mm from existing ground level constitutes lawful development under the GPDO
- Whether the erection of a front porch constitutes lawful development under the GPDO
What decided it
The rear extension and raised platform works failed to demonstrate precisely and unambiguously that they complied with the GPDO requirements, particularly regarding proximity to boundary, eaves height, and platform height, whereas the loft conversion and porch works clearly complied with their respective GPDO classes.
