“Part 1 of the GPDO – GENERAL Appeal Decisions” – 4 additional appeal decisions (total = 666) …

The Part 1 of the GPDO - GENERAL Appeal Decisions document has been updated to include 4 additional appeal decisions relating to householder permitted development legislation (4 "LDC Appeals" and 0 "Enforcement Appeals"), for which the conclusions are as follows:

June 2015 - Code a00560 (appeal dismissed):

  • E.1(c) not only prevents an outbuilding from being directly in front of the principal elevation, but also prevents an outbuilding from being in front of the imaginary line of the principal elevation when extended to either side.
  • This appeal decision provides an example of the types of factors that should be taken into consideration when determining which elevation is “the principal elevation”.

June 2015 - Code a00559 (appeal dismissed):

  • Where there’s an existing (non-original) extension with a roof that joins onto the roof of the main house, then this existing extension does reduce the volume (i.e. “cubic content”) that remains under B.1(d) for further extensions.
  • Where an existing (non-original) extension has reduced the volume (i.e. “cubic content”) that remains under B.1(d) for further extensions, and this existing extension is removed, then this previously used volume would be regained.
  • In an application for an LDC, the burden of proof is firmly on the applicant.

June 2015 - Code a00558 (appeal allowed):
