Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant an LDC was well-founded with particular regard to whether the conversion of the attached garage to additional living accommodation, including alterations to the front elevation, would constitute a breach of planning condition No. 03 of planning permission reference No. 93/D29415 if instigated or begun on the date of the LDC application

What decided it

The planning condition No. 03 of permission 93/D29415 relates only to the provision and maintenance of two car parking spaces, not to the use or conversion of garage space, and therefore the proposal would not constitute a breach of that condition.

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.
