Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse the LDC was well founded, turning on whether the proposed works would have constituted permitted development under Article 3 and Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A to The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended

What decided it

The external solid wall insulation failed the condition requiring materials of similar appearance to the existing brick construction, whilst the windows and doors satisfied the permitted development criteria under Class A of the GPDO.
