- Whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class D of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) (GPDO)
What decided it
The Inspector was unable to conclude on the balance of probabilities that the original recessed porch had been lost prior to the application date, meaning the proposed porch would likely constitute an extension to it, resulting in a cumulative area exceeding the 3 square metre permitted development limit.
