Chatsmore House, Goring Street, Worthing, West Sussex, BN12 5AH

Planning appeal 3337865 at Chatsmore House, Goring Street, Worthing, West Sussex, BN12 5AH (Worthing Borough Council) was dismissed on 16 August 2024 by Inspector McCreery D, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: whether the proposal accords with the limitations at paragraph A.1 of Part 20, Class A of the GPDO and is therefore capable, in principle, of benefiting from the permitted development rights conferred by Class A.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal accords with the limitations at paragraph A.1 of Part 20, Class A of the GPDO and is therefore capable, in principle, of benefiting from the permitted development rights conferred by Class A
  • whether prior approval should be granted for the proposed development when regard is paid to the specified matters at subparagraphs 'a to j' of A.2(1) of Part 20, Class A

What decided it

The proposed parking works do not meet the limitation under paragraph A1(n) because they are forward of a side elevation of the building that fronts a highway, and the changes to external elevations and solar panels cannot benefit from Part 20, Class A rights.
