Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's refusal to grant the certificate of lawful use or development was well founded, specifically whether the proposed single storey rear extension would be granted planning permission by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, as amended

What decided it

Condition 5 on the original planning permission explicitly removes permitted development rights for extensions under the GPDO, and no prior approval from the local planning authority was obtained for the proposed rear extension.

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.
