Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would comply with paragraph AB.(2) of Class AB, having particular regard to whether the building is used for any purpose within Class B1(a) of the Schedule to the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987
- Whether the proposals would comply with paragraph AB.1.(o)(ii) of Class AB, having particular regard to whether development under Class AB(3)(d) would be situated on land forward of a wall forming the principal elevation of the existing building
- Whether the proposal would comply with paragraph AB.1(za) of Class AB, having particular regard to whether the permission to use the building as a dwellinghouse has been granted only by virtue of Class MA of Part 3 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO (Appeal B only)
- Whether the proposal would comply with paragraph AB.1.(o)(i) of Class AB, having particular regard to whether development under Class AB(3)(d) would extend beyond the curtilage of the existing building (Appeal B only)
- Whether the proposal complies with the nationally described space standard (Appeal B only)
What decided it
The proposals do not constitute permitted development under Class AB of the GPDO because the building is not currently in commercial use (having been substantially converted to residential) and because ancillary works would be positioned forward of the principal elevation in breach of paragraph AB.1.(o)(ii).
