What decided it
The Prior Approval scheme deemed acceptable under permitted development procedures is a material consideration of substantial weight that outweighs the policy objection, as the as-built scheme would have resulted in little different impact on neighbouring living conditions than what was already approved.
What the Inspector cited

- Policy 14Policy 22
- National Planning Policy Framework
