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.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
