Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed dormer roof extension complies with Condition B.2(b)(i)(bb) of Schedule 2, Article 3, Part 1 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, specifically the requirement that the edge of the enlargement closest to the eaves of the original roof shall be not less than 0.2 metres from the eaves

What decided it

The Council's interpretation of Condition B.2(b)(i)(bb) was incorrect because it wrongly applied the 0.2 metre setback requirement to the rake (gable wall junction) rather than to the eaves, and failed to apply the exemption for hip-to-gable enlargements.
