1 Garnier Street, Portsmouth, PO1 1PD

Planning appeal 3284639 at 1 Garnier Street, Portsmouth, PO1 1PD (Portsmouth City Council) was dismissed on 17 June 2022 by Inspector Shields T, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed dormer could have been carried out lawfully under permitted development rights (Article 3 and Schedule 2, Part 1, Class B of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015), specifically whether it would be located on the principal elevation in conflict with Class B.1.(c).

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed dormer could have been carried out lawfully under permitted development rights (Article 3 and Schedule 2, Part 1, Class B of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015), specifically whether it would be located on the principal elevation in conflict with Class B.1.(c)

What decided it

The Murefield Road elevation is the principal elevation of the property because it is the only elevation providing direct access to the property and contains the main entrance, main architectural features, and post delivery point, making the proposed dormer on this elevation non-compliant with permitted development restrictions.
