Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed outbuilding would benefit from planning permission granted by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 as amended, Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E, specifically whether the external landing and building constitute raised platforms within the meaning of Paragraph E.1.(h)
What decided it
The height of any raised platform must be measured from the highest part of ground adjacent to the building, which in this case was at the same level as the external landing and building floor, thus not exceeding the 0.3 metre threshold for a raised platform under the GPDO.
