Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AA of the GPDO, with particular regard to whether the proposed floor to ceiling height of the fourth floor, measured internally, would exceed that of any storey of the principal part of the existing building
- whether the parts of the building to be extended fall under the definition of the 'principal part of the building'
What decided it
The proposal failed to comply with paragraph AA.1.(e) of the GPDO because there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate that the proposed floor to ceiling height of the fourth floor, measured internally, would not exceed that of any storey of the principal part of the existing building.
