Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal can constitute permitted development requiring prior approval having regard to the Nationally Described Space Standards (NDSS)
What decided it
The proposal does not comply with the Nationally Described Space Standards as submitted, and allowing amendments or conditions to remedy this would circumvent the GPDO's requirements for proper prior approval assessment and third party consultation.
