Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the decision of the Council to refuse the application for a certificate was well founded, concerning the limitations for permitted development under Classes B and C of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, specifically what is the original dwellinghouse and whether the cubic content of the resultant roof space exceeds 50 cubic meters

What decided it

The identification of the original dwellinghouse as that which came into existence in 2002, combined with the calculation that the resultant roof space of 49.96 cubic metres did not exceed the 50 cubic metre threshold, meant the proposal satisfied all permitted development requirements under Classes B and C of the GPDO.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
