Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would constitute permitted development in respect to Class A, paragraph A.1
- If the proposal is found to constitute permitted development, the effect of the proposal on the amenity of any adjoining premise
What decided it
The existing side elevations of the original rear projection remain in place, meaning the proposed extension would extend beyond a side elevation of the original dwelling and exceed half its width, thereby failing to comply with criterion (j)(iii) of the GPDO and not constituting permitted development.
