Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed loft conversion with rear dormer constitutes permitted development under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development)(England) Order 2015
What decided it
The application failed to describe precisely what was being applied for, with confused and contradictory drawings, and any full-width dormer interpretation would require works to a neighbouring property which are not permitted development.
