Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the erection of two buildings constitutes a breach of planning control, turning on whether the buildings are permitted development by virtue of being on land forward of a wall forming the principal elevation of the original dwellinghouse

What decided it

The buildings are located on land forward of the principal elevation of the dwellinghouse and therefore fail to comply with the permitted development condition E.1.(c), meaning they do not constitute permitted development.

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
