Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development satisfies the requirements of the Town & Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 with regard to being permitted development
  • If it does, whether prior approval should be granted, having regard to the impact of the proposed development on the amenity of any adjoining premises

What decided it

Development had already commenced with material operations (foundation digging and concrete floor laying) before prior approval was obtained, meaning it cannot constitute permitted development under the Order.
