Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by Article 3 Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AA of the GPDO, with particular regard to whether the additional storeys are constructed on the principal part of the building, and whether the building is less than three storeys in height
What decided it
The building contains a two-storey element which is less than three storeys in height, and the proposed extension would be constructed over this two-storey section rather than solely on the three-storey principal part, both of which breach the GPDO Class AA requirements.
