Planning appeal 3323064 at Manor Cottage East Shalford Lane, Guildford, GU4 8AR (Guildford Borough Council) was allowed on 19 April 2024 by Inspector Satheesan R, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's refusal in part to grant the LDC was well founded, specifically whether the proposed 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 (GPDO).

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's refusal in part to grant the LDC was well founded, specifically whether the proposed 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 (GPDO)
What decided it
The identification of the north (street-fronting) elevation as the principal elevation meant the proposed extension would not extend beyond a side elevation and therefore complied with the GPDO Class A permitted development restrictions.
