Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 20, Class A of the GPDO
- If permitted development, the impact on the external appearance of the building
- If permitted development, the impact on the amenity of the existing building and neighbouring premises including overlooking, privacy, and loss of light
What decided it
The proposed dwellings fail to comply with the nationally described space standard as required by paragraph 9A of Article 3 of the GPDO, meaning the development does not qualify as permitted development.
