Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a Lawful Development Certificate was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed vehicular driveway and access would benefit from permitted development rights under Article 3(1), Class F of Part 1 and Class B of Part 2 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015

What decided it

The formation of the proposed access would create an obstruction to visibility at a sharp bend in the highway that would be likely to cause danger to highway users, contrary to Article 3(6) of the GPDO, and therefore cannot benefit from permitted development rights.
