Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development is well-founded
What decided it
The proposed development would extend beyond the plane of the existing roof slope which forms the principal elevation fronting a highway, and therefore fails to meet the requirements of Class B of the GPDO and cannot be permitted development.
