Appeal Decision 40 - Certificate of Lawful Development.
This appeal decision summary and
assessment has been produced byPlanning Jungle Limited. For more information, please go to www.planningjungle.com/?p=20
The property is a two-storey
detached house. The road runs west to east, and the property is to
the north side of this road, set back a significant distance from the road. The property is orientated such that its four elevations face north, south,
west, and east. The application was for a proposed two-storey
extension (with a footprint significantly larger than the house) to the east elevation, and a single storey
extension (with depth 6m) to the north elevation.
The key issue was whether the
east or south elevation is “the principal elevation”, on the basis that this would then determine how to apply
the other limitations of Class A to the proposed two-storey extension and to the proposed single storey
extension.
For both elevations, the
Inspector examined in depth the features that they contain, and the aspect to which they face. The Inspector concluded that, for this particular property, the south
elevation is “the principal elevation”. On this basis, the
Inspector then concluded that the two-storey extension to the east elevation would be contrary to Class A, part
A.1(h) (which prevents a two-storey extension from a side elevation), and that the single storey extension would
be contrary to Class A, part A.1(e) (which prevents extensions with depth greater than 3m/4m from the rear
wall).
