Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would fall within the provisions of permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class MA of the GPDO
- if so, whether prior approval should be granted in respect of the provision of adequate natural light in all habitable rooms of the dwellinghouses
- whether prior approval should be granted in respect of the transport impacts of the development, particularly to ensure safe site access
- whether prior approval should be granted in respect of the contamination risks in relation to the building
What decided it
Insufficient information was provided to establish that the proposed ground floor flats would have adequate natural light in all habitable rooms, contrary to condition MA.2.(2)(f) of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class MA of the GPDO.
