Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development is well-founded, requiring consideration of whether the proposed works would constitute permitted development by virtue of Class B, Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended

What decided it

The ambiguity in the drawings regarding the location of the dormer side walls and the insufficient detail on the composite cladding materials meant the appellant failed to demonstrate with the necessary clarity and precision that the proposed development would constitute permitted development under Class B of the GPDO.
