Planning appeal decision
22 Glendale Drive, Guildford, GU4 7HX
Planning appeal 3326218 at 22 Glendale Drive, Guildford, GU4 7HX (Guildford Borough Council) was dismissed on 23 August 2024 by Inspector Shields T, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's decision to refuse a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed extension benefits from permitted development rights under Article 3 and Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 as amended.
1- a single storey rear extension, extending no more than 3 metres beyond the rear wall of the original dwellinghouse (maximum height 3.325m, eaves height 2.400m) which falls under Part 1, Class A of Permitted Development rights; 2- installation of 3 No. rooflights which falls under Part 1 Class C of Permitted Development rights

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed extension benefits from permitted development rights under Article 3 and Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 as amended
What decided it
The garage was originally constructed separately from the main dwellinghouse, meaning the proposed extension would exceed the width limitation imposed by Class A.1(j)(iii) of the permitted development order and therefore cannot be carried out lawfully without planning permission.
