Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawfulness for the proposed development was well founded
What decided it
The proposed dormer would extend beyond the outside face of an external wall of the original dwellinghouse and the outrigger is original rather than an extension, thereby contravening the permitted development criteria in Schedule 2, Part 1, Class B.2(ii) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015.
