Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would benefit from deemed planning permission (permitted development) having regard to whether the proposed extension is sited anywhere other than to the rear of the existing building
- Whether the building would have suitable existing access to a public highway
- If the proposal amounts to permitted development, whether the transport and highways impacts would be acceptable
What decided it
The proposed extension is sited to the front elevation of the barn (facing the field) rather than the rear elevation (facing the bridleway), and therefore cannot benefit from permitted development rights under Class Q.1(i)(ii) of the General Permitted Development Order.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
