Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal benefits from the provisions of permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AB of the GPDO with regard to: (a) transport and highways impacts of the development and (g) impact on the amenity of the existing building and neighbouring premises including overlooking, privacy and the loss of light

What decided it

The absence of a completed legal agreement to secure car-free housing and the unacceptable loss of daylight to flat 9 meant the proposal failed to comply with the prior approval requirements of Class AB of the GPDO.

Plan policies cited: LP42, paragraph 5.14 of the LP
