Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposed development would constitute permitted development with particular regard to whether the appeal property forms part of a listed building
  • Whether or not the proposed development would constitute permitted development with particular regard to the impact of the proposed development on the character or sustainability of the conservation area

What decided it

The appeal property does not form part of a listed building or its curtilage, and the conversion would have no detrimental impact on the character or sustainability of the conservation area, therefore complying with the GPDO Class MA requirements.

Plan policies cited: Secondary Commercial, Business and Frontage (Waltham Abbey Local Plan Policies Map 2023)
