Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed extension would constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the GPDO and, if so, whether prior approval is required

What decided it

The western elevation, not the eastern elevation fronting the highway, comprises the principal elevation of the original dwellinghouse, and the proposed extension would extend beyond this principal elevation, precluding it from being permitted development.
