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 at Article 3(1), Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A

What decided it

The identification of the east elevation as the principal elevation of the original dwelling, based on historical evidence showing it fronted the main highway and contained the main architectural features prior to 1 July 1948, meant the proposed rear extension would not breach the relevant GPDO limitations.
