Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, with particular regard to whether the proposed development would constitute permitted development by virtue of Class A, Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)
What decided it
The proposed extension would be located on the rear elevation (north-west) of the dwelling and would not extend beyond the side elevation walls (north-east or south-west), therefore satisfying the permitted development criteria under Class A, Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO.
