Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development benefits from the provisions of Class ZA of the GPDO
  • If the proposal constitutes permitted development, whether prior approval would be required

What decided it

The appeal building was established for a mixed sui generis use (dog grooming and office) rather than a primary Class B1(a) office use, and therefore does not qualify for the permitted development right under Class ZA of the GPDO.
