Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded

What decided it

The proposed single storey rear extension and dormer cannot constitute permitted development because at the date of application the property was in use as two flats, not a single dwellinghouse, and the rear extension would fail the GPDO dimensional restrictions even if the property were lawfully in single dwellinghouse use.
