What decided it
The proposed extension does not extend beyond the rear wall of the original dwellinghouse as required by the GPDO, because the rear wall is opposite the front elevation (which the Inspector found to be the elevation adjoining the shared drive), and the extension extends at right angles to this front elevation.
