Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the building erected on the land constitutes permitted development under Class E of Part 6 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)

What decided it

The development commenced before the required prior approval application was made, which is a mandatory precondition under Class E of the GPDO, meaning the building could not benefit from permitted development rights.
