Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class G of the GPDO
- If so, should prior approval be granted for the development, having regard to the matters set out in Paragraph G.1.(d) of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class G of the GPDO
What decided it
The presence of a ground floor display window combined with the proposed use of part of the ground floor as a flat means the development does not satisfy the permitted development requirements of Paragraph G.1.(b) of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class G of the GPDO.
