Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the GPDO, with particular regard to the terms of paragraph A.1(j)

What decided it

The rear bay window, by virtue of its minimal projection of less than 0.3 metres and shallow angle of less than 45 degrees, is reasonably considered part of the rear wall rather than a side elevation, and therefore the extension does not breach paragraph A.1(j) limitations.
