·       The above conclusion applies regardless of when the works were substantially completed.  In other words, where an application is received (on or after 01/10/2008) for existing works that were begun prior to 01/10/2008, then these existing works (even if they were substantially completed on or after 01/10/2008) should be assessed against the previous Part 1 of the GPDO.

·       This appeal decision implies that where an application is received (on or after 01/10/2008) for existing works that were begun prior to 01/10/2008, but which were substantially completed on or after 01/10/2008, then these existing works should be assessed against the previous Part 1 of the GPDO.
