·       For example, the erection of a proposed dormer under Class B can involve the installation or alteration of a soil and vent pipe under Class G – the latter would not be prevented on the basis that it would be contrary to Class B, part B.1(d).

·       Regardless of the fact that the installation or alteration of a soil and vent pipe might fall within the description of Class G, such works do not necessarily constitute development, and therefore do not necessarily require planning permission in the first place.
