Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development, with particular regard to whether the existing extension on the rear of the property forms a side elevation of the original dwelling and, if it would be permitted development, whether or not prior approval would be required
What decided it
The existing rear extension was not in place on 1 July 1948 and therefore does not form part of the original dwelling, allowing the proposed extension to comply with the GPDO limitations for permitted development.
