“GPDO Part 1 (All Classes) – LDC Appeal Decisions” – 5 additional appeal decisions (total = 1,242) …

The "GPDO Part 1 (All Classes) - LDC Appeal Decisions" document has been updated to include 5 additional appeal decisions relating to householder permitted development legislation, for which the conclusions are as follows:

March 2020 - Code a01136 (appeal allowed):

  • Where a proposed extension (under Class A) would be separated from another proposed extension (under Class A) by a relatively small gap, then this appeal decision provides an example of where it was concluded that the phrase “the enlarged part of the dwellinghouse” applies to each of the extensions separately. [Note: In other words, each of the extensions should be assessed individually against those limitations and conditions of Class A that apply to “the enlarged part of the dwellinghouse”]. (*)
    [Note: The gap is approx 0.11m].

March 2020 - Code a01135 (split decision):

  • 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.
  • In particular, where “the principal elevation” is staggered horizontally, then to each side of the house the imaginary line is determined by the part of the principal elevation that’s nearest to that side.
    [Conclusion: The works do not comply with E.1(c) of the GPDO 2015 on the basis that the outbuilding is forward of the nearest part of the principal elevation (even though it would not be forward of the furthest part of the principal elevation)].

February 2020 - Code a01134 (appeal dismissed):
