Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class MA of the GPDO
  • whether the proposal would provide adequate natural light in all habitable rooms of the dwelling

What decided it

The Inspector could not be satisfied on the limited evidence before them that the rear extension fell within one or more of the classes specified in MA.1(2) of the GPDO for a continuous period of at least 2 years prior to the application date, and therefore the requirements of Class MA.1 were not met.
