Planning appeal 3310639 at 82 Oaks Lane, Ilford, United Kingdom, IG2 7PX (London Borough of Redbridge) was dismissed on 30 January 2024 by Inspector Jones R, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed loft conversion with two side dormers and Juliette balcony would have been lawful on the date of application as permitted development under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015.
