Eastworth House, Eastworth Road, Chertsey, KT16 8SH

Planning appeal 3344949 at Eastworth House, Eastworth Road, Chertsey, KT16 8SH (Runnymede Borough Council) was dismissed on 21 November 2024 by Inspector Lawrence R, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: 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.

Prior Approval Application for an extension to the existing building to provide an additional two storeys to create an additional 50 residential units, under Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) - Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AA (New dwellinghouses on detached buildings in commercial or mixed use)

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.
