Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed enclosure of the porch is permitted development under Class D or Class A of Schedule 2, Part 1 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
- Whether the proposed removal of garage doors and insertion of tunnel windows is permitted development under Class A, and whether a planning condition imposed on a previous permission operates to exclude permitted development rights
What decided it
The planning condition restricting garage use was not sufficiently unequivocal or explicit in its wording, and its supporting reasons did not indicate an intention to exclude permitted development rights, therefore Class A permitted development rights applied to both the porch enclosure and garage alterations.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
