Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse the application for a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded
  • Whether the proposed roof enlargement would accord with Class B.1.(d) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, specifically whether the cubic content of the resulting roof space would exceed the original roof space by more than 50 cubic metres

What decided it

The Inspector's interpretation that the 'original roof space' for Class B purposes is the roof space that existed within building 145A when it underwent material change of use to become a dwellinghouse, not the roof space of the original undivided dwelling at 145.
