Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is permitted development
- whether the proposed development would comply with conditions A.3(a), A.4(2)(a)(ii) and A.4(2)(a)(iii) of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)
What decided it
The eaves height of the proposed extension, measured at just over 3.3m, exceeds the 3m maximum threshold required by the GPDO for development within 2m of the curtilage boundary, meaning the proposal is not permitted development.
