Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the decision of the Council to refuse the application for a Certificate of Lawful Use or Development was well founded
What decided it
The proposed roof extension would extend beyond the plane of the existing roof slope forming the principal elevation fronting a highway, and the side dormer windows would not meet the required obscure-glazing and opening height conditions, therefore the development would not have constituted permitted development under the GPDO.
