Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the decision not to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the proposal is permitted development under Article 3 and Schedule 2, Part 1, Class B of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended
What decided it
The proposed dormer fenestration does not comply with the condition requiring materials and design of similar appearance to the existing house, as the window frames are substantially different in overall shape and size from existing house windows.
