Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development falls within the terms of the permitted development rights under Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 3, Class G of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)
What decided it
The proposal failed to comply with condition G.1.(b) of Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 3, Class G of the GPDO because part of the ground floor would be converted to residential use despite the retention of a shopfront display window.
