Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development complies with condition B.2(b)(ii) of Class B of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, specifically whether the hip to gable roof element with verge overhang extends beyond the outside face of the external wall of the original dwellinghouse
What decided it
The Council's failure to apply paragraph B.4 of the 2015 GPDO, which excludes minor roof details such as verge overhangs from being considered part of the enlargement, meant the development complies with the permitted development conditions.
