Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's refusal to grant the LDC was well founded, in particular whether the proposal should be assessed against Class A and/or Class B of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, and whether the proposed extension would be granted planning permission by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A and/or B of the GPDO

What decided it

The Government's Technical Guidance on permitted development explicitly describes L-shaped dormers joining original roofs to outrigger roofs as permitted, regardless of whether the outrigger is original or a later addition or differences in roof pitch, and this guidance applies to the proposed development.
