Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well founded, specifically whether the proposed extensions would be permitted by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
What decided it
The north-east elevation is the principal elevation of the original dwellinghouse, and the proposed extension would extend beyond a wall forming that elevation, making it non-compliant with Class A of the 2015 Order; additionally, both extensions would use materials of dissimilar appearance contrary to condition A.3(a).
