Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded
What decided it
The Council's calculation of roof volume increase was erroneous as it double-counted the area where dormers meet, and the correct calculation shows the increase does not exceed 40 cubic metres, thus satisfying the GPDO permitted development condition.
