Allowed12 March 20253347473

The Old Vicarage, Church Road, Crowle, Worcester, WR7 4AT

Planning appeal 3347473 at The Old Vicarage, Church Road, Crowle, Worcester, WR7 4AT (Wychavon District Council) was allowed on 12 March 2025 by Inspector Hanson S, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue an LDC was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed removal and replacement of gates would benefit from planning permission granted by Article 3(1) and Class A of Part 2, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue an LDC was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed removal and replacement of gates would benefit from planning permission granted by Article 3(1) and Class A of Part 2, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)

What decided it

The gates are not adjacent to a public highway within the meaning of the General Permitted Development Order because they are set back approximately 17 metres from Church Road and erected over a private driveway, therefore constituting permitted development not requiring planning permission.
