Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the extension constitutes permitted development under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development Order) 2015, having regard to whether the property was in use as a single dwellinghouse or as one or more flats at the time of construction
What decided it
The extension was built in connection with an existing or concurrent use of the property as one or more flats, which were unauthorised uses, and therefore fell outside the definition of permitted development for a dwellinghouse.
