Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision not to issue the certificate of lawful use or development was well founded
What decided it
The proposed roof enlargement fails to satisfy Class B B.2(b)(i)(aa & bb) of the GPDO because the original eaves have been removed and cannot be reinstated, making the required 0.2m separation unachievable.
