Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the floor to ceiling height of any additional storey, measured internally, would exceed the lower of (i) 3 metres; or (ii) the floor to ceiling height, measured internally, of any storey of the principal part of the existing building
- Whether the external appearance of the building would be acceptable
What decided it
The absence of drawings detailing the floor to ceiling height of the proposed additional storey meant the Inspector could not establish compliance with the mandatory height limitations in the GPDO, resulting in the development not being granted planning permission under the permitted development right.
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.
