Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the Council's refusal in part to grant a certificate of lawful use or development for hip to gable enlargements and rear dormer should be modified, specifically whether the proposed roof extensions would exceed the volumetric thresholds applicable under Class B of Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015

What decided it

The applicant failed to prove that the resulting roof space from the combined hip to gable enlargement, rear dormer, and single storey extension would not exceed the 50 cubic metres threshold permitted by Class B of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015, particularly because the roof space of the single storey extension must be included in the calculation.

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
