Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would extend beyond a wall forming a side elevation of the original dwellinghouse and have a width greater than half the width of the original dwellinghouse
What decided it
The chimney breast, by reason of its minimal depth of projection from the rear elevation, does not constitute a side wall for the purposes of the GPDO and therefore the development does not breach Paragraph A.1(j)(iii).
