Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 20, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
  • If so, whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the matters set out in Paragraph A.2(1) of Part 20, Class A of the Order

What decided it

The proposal failed to satisfy the prior approval criteria in Paragraph A.2(1)(a) (transport and highways) and A.2(1)(g) (amenity of neighbouring premises regarding loss of light) of the GPDO 2015, and therefore prior approval could not be granted.
