Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal complies with the requirements of paragraph AA.1(c) with regards to whether the dwellinghouse was constructed before 1st July 1948
- Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the impact on the amenity of any adjoining premises and the external appearance of the dwellinghouse
What decided it
The dwellinghouse was constructed before 1st July 1948 as part of the Becontree Estate (1921-1934), which fails to meet the requirement in paragraph AA.1(c) of the GPDO and therefore falls outside the scope of permitted development.
