Planning appeal decision

Planning appeal 3348841 at 2 Mangles Road, Guildford, GU1 1QF (Guildford Borough Council) was dismissed on 7 March 2025 by Inspector Hawkins S, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether planning permission is granted for the proposal by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) at Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether planning permission is granted for the proposal by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) at Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that the extension would comply with the 50% curtilage limitation in paragraph A.1(b) of Class A of the GPDO because the disputed strip of land does not form part of the curtilage of the dwelling.
