28 Raisins Hill, Eastcote, HA5 2BS

Planning appeal 3370880 at 28 Raisins Hill, Eastcote, HA5 2BS (London Borough of Hillingdon) was allowed on 19 June 2026 by Inspector Hawkins S, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the appellant has shown that the proposed works benefit from planning permission granted by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) at Article 3(1), Schedule 2, Part 1, Classes B, C and D.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the appellant has shown that the proposed works benefit from planning permission granted by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) at Article 3(1), Schedule 2, Part 1, Classes B, C and D

What decided it

The retention of more than half of the existing roof structure meant the proposed works constituted an addition or alteration to the roof rather than rebuilding, and therefore fell within the scope of permitted development under GPDO Classes B and C.

What the Inspector cited

Judgments: Street v MHLG & Essex CC [1965] 193 EG 537; Larkin v Basildon DC [1980] JPL 407
