Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q.1(a), (g) and (i) of the GPDO
What decided it
The building had been subject to an extension after 2013, evidenced by aerial photographs showing the absence of the rear lean-to in 2016 and its subsequent reappearance, which breached paragraph Q.1(g) of the GPDO and rendered the proposal not permitted development.
