Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class MA of the GPDO
- if the proposal is permitted development, whether prior approval should be granted, having regard to (i) the impacts of noise from commercial premises on the intended occupiers of the development and (ii) the provision of adequate natural light in all habitable rooms of the dwellinghouses
What decided it
The appeal site as submitted includes buildings and land covered by an Article 4 direction which has withdrawn permitted development rights under Class MA of the GPDO, making the proposal ineligible for consideration as permitted development.
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.
