Planning appeal decision
76 Hamilton Road, London, NW11 9DY
Planning appeal 3327528 at 76 Hamilton Road, London, NW11 9DY (London Borough of Barnet) was dismissed on 18 September 2024 by Inspector Savage M, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's decision to refuse the certificate of lawfulness is well-founded, which turns on whether the appeal scheme comprises development for the purposes of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) and if so, whether it is granted planning permission by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development)(England) Order 2015 (as amended) or the Order then in force.
‘To increase the roof height of the existing rear extension and internal changes.’

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse the certificate of lawfulness is well-founded, which turns on whether the appeal scheme comprises development for the purposes of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) and if so, whether it is granted planning permission by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development)(England) Order 2015 (as amended) or the Order then in force
What decided it
The proposed works exceed the depth limitations set out in Part 1, Class A of the GPDO (6 metres for a mid-terrace property) and would not comply with the permitted development restrictions, requiring planning permission which has not been granted.
