Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would accord with the requirements of Schedule 2, Part 20, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended
  • If permitted development, whether prior approval should be granted, having particular regard to the effect of the proposal on the external appearance of the building and the transport and highways impacts of the development

What decided it

The proposal does not constitute permitted development under the GPDO because it includes works to the existing topmost residential storey and second-floor flats beyond the permitted engineering operations, and insufficient evidence was provided to verify compliance with floor-to-ceiling height requirements.
