Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: whether the proposal would be granted planning permission by Article 3(1) and Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the GPDO
- Appeal B: the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the residents at 90 Becklow Road with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The fallback option under permitted development rights, which would allow the same harmful extension to be built without planning permission, was a material consideration of sufficient weight to justify granting planning permission for Appeal B despite conflict with the development plan.
