“Part 1 of the GPDO – GENERAL Appeal Decisions” – 4 additional appeal decisions (total = 1,459) …

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, for which the conclusions are as follows:

October 2021 - Code a01353 (appeal allowed):

  • This appeal decision provides an example of where the applicant submitted (or offered to submit) an amended drawing during the application process, and the Inspector concluded that the Council should have accepted this amended drawing.
    [Note: The height of the eaves of the outbuilding was amended from 2.6m to 2.5m].
    [Quote: “I can appreciate that assessing an application for a LDC is a legal determination. However, having raised the issue of the height of the proposed outbuilding, and then having received an amended plan addressing and clarifying what the height would be, the Council was in a position that it had plans showing that the proposal would have planning permission granted by the GPDO. Thus, it would have been lawful, and it could have issued a LDC accordingly. It was not bound to only base its decision on the original plans, and I can see that it would serve no public purpose in doing so. The Council has since granted a LDC for the proposed outbuilding based on it being in line with the GPDO planning permission under Class E. In view of the above, I have no alternative but to duplicate the Council’s subsequent decision based on the drawing showing ‘Proposed Front Elevation’ with an amendment dated 09/03/2021.”].

October 2021 - Code a01352 (appeal allowed):
