- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Class MA of Part 3, Schedule 2 of the GPDO, having regard to the specific development proposed and the operation of Article 3(4)

The proposed development comprises an annex use rather than an independent dwellinghouse, and is further prevented by Article 3(4) due to a restrictive condition on the existing planning permission limiting use to hairdresser only.
