What decided it
The permitted development right for permeable paving under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class F of the GPDO 2015 constitutes a material consideration affording significant weight, establishing a fallback position that would allow implementation even if the appeal were dismissed.
The permitted development fallback right for the permeable slabs was given more weight than the conflict with SPG 2, allowing the appeal to proceed.
