  1. Section 02

    Decision

    The appeal is dismissed.

  2. Section 03

    Preliminary Matters

    Under Article 3(1) and Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended (the GPDO), planning permission is granted for the enlargement of a dwellinghouse subject to limitations and conditions.

    Where an application is made for a determination as to whether prior approval is required for development which exceeds the limits in paragraph A.1(f) but is allowed by paragraph A.1(g) to Part 1, paragraph A.4(3) provides that the local planning authority may refuse the application where it considers that the proposed development does not comply.

  3. Section 04

    Main Issue

    The main issue is therefore whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the GPDO.

  4. Section 05

    Reasons

    The appeal property is a two-storey semi-detached dwelling. It is designed with a very small but distinct two-storey projection at the rear.

    Development is not permitted by Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the GPDO if the enlarged part of the dwellinghouse would extend beyond a wall forming a side elevation of the original dwellinghouse and would have a width greater than half the width of the original dwellinghouse (paragraph A.1.(j)(iii)).

    Page 22 of the Permitted Development Technical Guidance (2019) (the guidance) clarifies that a wall forming a side elevation of a house will be any wall that cannot be identified as being a front wall or a rear wall. Houses will often have more than two side elevation walls, and this is illustrated in the accompanying image on page 22 of the guidance, which illustrates a property with rear projections.

    Having regard to the guidance, and the distinct nature of the rear projection, the narrow wall projecting from the living room and bedroom is a side elevation for the purposes of the GPDO.

    The limitations to permitted development are based on the original dwellinghouse and apply even if part of the original wall is removed. In this case, the proposed extension would extend beyond the line of an original side elevation, even though the side elevation would be demolished as part of the proposed development. The proposed development would therefore fail to meet the restriction in A.1.(j)(iii) of the GPDO.

    I therefore find that the proposed development would not satisfy the criteria to be permitted development, under the terms of Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the GPDO.

    As the proposal does not constitute permitted development, I have no need to consider the amenity of the neighbours. I note the appellant’s reference to other extensions but whether or not they comply with the GPDO is not relevant to my determination of this particular case and they do not set precedents that override the provisions of the GPDO.

    For the reasons given above, the appeal is dismissed.
