Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether planning permission is granted for the proposed works by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)

What decided it

The flat is contained within a building with multiple units, and the GPDO definition of 'dwellinghouse' for Part 1 purposes explicitly excludes flats and buildings containing flats, therefore the proposed works cannot benefit from permitted development rights.
