Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would comply with the description of permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, with particular regard to whether the extent of the building operations proposed would be reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse and whether prior approval is required having regard to design or external appearance
What decided it
The enlarged windows on the north west elevation would not be reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse, as smaller windows would be sufficient to provide adequate natural light.
