Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the LPA's decision to refuse the application for an LDC was well-founded, with particular regard to whether the proposal would accord with Schedule 2, Part 1, Class B of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) (GPDO)
What decided it
The principal elevation of the dwelling comprises only the gable wall fronting the highway, which does not incorporate a roof slope, and therefore the proposal does not breach paragraph B.1(c) of the GPDO.
