Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be permitted development in terms of the external dimensions of the building under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q.1(h) of the GPDO
- whether the proposal would be permitted development in terms of the extent of building operations reasonably necessary for the building to function as a dwellinghouse under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q.1(i) of the GPDO
What decided it
The installation of external timber cladding to the walls would result in the external dimensions of the proposed building extending beyond those of the existing building, thus conflicting with Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q.1(h) of the GPDO.
