Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the decision of the Council of the London Borough of Bromley to refuse to grant the certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded
What decided it
The proposed development would extend beyond the plane of an existing roof slope forming the principal elevation fronting a highway, contrary to Schedule 2 Part 1 Class B.1(c) of the GPDO, and therefore does not constitute permitted development.
