Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by Article 3, and Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the GPDO
- If permission would be granted, the impact of the proposed development on the amenity of adjoining premises
What decided it
The proposed extension fails to comply with criterion A.1(d) of the GPDO because the eaves height cannot be clearly demonstrated to not exceed the existing dwellinghouse eaves height due to insufficient clarity in the submitted measurements.
