I have a case where someone is seeking to join an existing two storey outbuilding to the main house. Once joined the accommodation within the outbuilding would I assume benefit from Class A pd rights which could be harmful to the amenity of neighbours. I have considered removing pd as part of the approval but wondered whether this would meet the reasonableness test? If outbuildings already have rights to enlarge, under any of the Classes, the alterations could be made before the planning permission is implemented and the council couldnt stop it. More specifically Class E appears to give rights for alterations which suggests that the insertion of a rooflight would be pd. Is this correct?However, if they were to extend the roof with a dormer would this still be pd?
