Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant an LDC for the single-storey rear extension is well-founded
What decided it
The proposed building would be located on land forward of the principal elevation of the original dwellinghouse, contrary to Class E.1(c) of the GPDO, and therefore does not benefit from permitted development rights.
