Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by Article 3(1) and Schedule 2, Part 20, Class A of the GPDO with specific regard as to whether the building is within 3 km of the perimeter of an aerodrome
- If planning permission would be granted, whether the external appearance of the building would be acceptable
What decided it
The site is located within 3 km of the Royal London Hospital helipad, which qualifies as an aerodrome under the GPDO, and therefore the proposed development does not benefit from permitted development rights.
