Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed roof extension including hip to gable, rear dormer window and 4no. rooflights to front roofslope would be lawful under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class B of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, turning on whether the two storey rear and side outrigger existed on 1st July 1948 and whether the development would be set back from the eaves as required
What decided it
The historical evidence, particularly the 1926 and 1945 aerial photographs and 1938 Ordnance Survey map, demonstrated on the balance of probability that the two storey rear and side outrigger existed on 1st July 1948 and therefore formed part of the original dwelling, allowing the roof extension to comply with the 40 cubic metre limit under Class B of the GPDO.
