Planning appeal decision
Glenwoods, Poole Road, Lychett Matravers, Dorset, BH21 3RP
Planning appeal 3314683 at Glenwoods, Poole Road, Lychett Matravers, Dorset, BH21 3RP (Dorset) was allowed on 11 September 2023 by Inspector Shields T, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a LDC was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed extension benefits from planning permission under Article 3 and Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015.

What decided it
The principal elevation of the original dwellinghouse, as defined in the statute for Class A purposes, is the west-facing elevation as it existed on 1 July 1948, not the later-modified north-facing elevation, and the proposed extension does not extend beyond this wall.
