Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse the certificate of lawfulness was well-founded
What decided it
The proposed single storey side extension would project beyond the rear walls of the original dwellinghouse by distances far exceeding the 4 metre limit permitted under Class A of the GPDO, and therefore does not constitute permitted development.
