- Whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by Article 3(1), Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended
What decided it
The proposed additional storey is partly located above an existing front extension of lower height, which is excluded from the definition of 'principal part' under paragraph AA.4(1) of the GPDO, thereby failing to meet the requirements for permitted development under Class AA.
