Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the decision not to issue a lawful development certificate was well-founded

What decided it

The porch constitutes a distinct operation falling under Class D of the GPDO (porches) rather than Class A (extensions), and Class D is a stand-alone permitted development right with no requirement to apply Class A restrictions merely because the porch is attached to a previous extension.
