Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is permitted development, with particular regard to whether the requirements of Class Q.1(h) would be met
- if so, whether or not prior approval should be granted in accordance with the conditions set out in paragraph Q.2(1)
What decided it
The proposed development satisfies the requirements of Class Q of the GPDO as the roof replacement would not extend the external dimensions of the building beyond the existing profile, and prior approval requirements were either not engaged or satisfied.
