the proposed building operations for the 3m single-storey rear extension

Authority: South Gloucestershire Council
Appeal type: ldc · Lawful Development Certificate
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Other minor developments
Inspector: Hand S

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed single-storey rear extension constitutes permitted development under Class A of the General Permitted Development Order 2015, specifically whether it complies with the restriction that it must not extend beyond a side wall of the original dwelling and must not be more than half the width of the original dwelling

What decided it

The entire extension, treated as a single enlarged part of the dwellinghouse, extends beyond a side wall and exceeds half the width of the original dwelling, thereby failing to comply with Class A restrictions and not constituting permitted development.
