Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the GPDO
What decided it
The proposed additional storey would be constructed partly over a section of the dwellinghouse (the rear section) which sits at a lower height and therefore fails to comply with the requirement that development under Class AA must be constructed only on the principal part of the dwellinghouse.
