Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a lawful development certificate was well founded
What decided it
The 1991 planning permission was implemented despite minor variations from the approved plans, so the condition restricting extensions without express permission continues to apply and prevents the proposed works from being permitted development.
