Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal can be considered as a minor material amendment under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
What decided it
The proposed garage would be substantially larger and more prominent than the approved car lodge, with enclosed design and ancillary living accommodation that would result in a development substantially different from the original permission, placing it outside the scope of section 73 minor material amendment provisions.
