Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal could be permitted development with regard to Article 3(9A) of the GPDO relating to the NDSS
- if the proposal could be permitted development whether prior approval should be granted with regard to its transport and highway effects and its effect on the external appearance of the building
What decided it
Three of the proposed bedrooms would fail to comply with the minimum floorspace and width requirements of the NDSS, meaning the proposal could not constitute permitted development under Article 3(9A) of the GPDO.
