Section 03
Procedural Matter
The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended (the GPDO) sets out under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A.1(g)(i) that, subject to restrictions, dwellinghouses can be extended by up to 6 metres. However, paragraph A.4 requires a prior approval application to be made to the local planning authority and condition 10 of A.4 is clear that, the development cannot begin until one of three events occur.
These events are namely, (a) the developer receives written notice that prior approval is not required; (b) the developer receives written notice that prior approval is given; or (c) the expiry of 42 days following the application being received by the local planning authority without notification of the prior approval being granted or refused. In this case I understand a notice was issued refusing prior approval within the 42 day limit.
However, at the time of my visit I noted that the proposed extension had been carried out, contrary to condition 10 of paragraph A.4 of Class, A, Part 1, Schedule 2 of the GPDO. As a result, and irrespective of whether the complies with the other criteria of Class A, the appeal must be dismissed and prior approval refused.
Section 04
Conclusion
For the reasons given above the appeal is dismissed.
