Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal constitutes permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 20, Class A of the GPDO
- if so, whether prior approval should be granted, having particular regard to the effect of the proposal on: (a) transport and highways impacts of the development; (e) the external appearance of the building; and (g) the impact on the amenity of the existing building and neighbouring premises
What decided it
Two of the four proposed apartments (apartments 10 and 12) failed to meet the nationally described space standards required by Section 3(9A) of the GPDO, meaning the development could not constitute permitted development.
