Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The main issue is whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a Certificate of LDC is well-founded.

What decided it

The finding that the field was so intimately associated with the existing industrial building, through ownership, physical layout and functional (drainage/access) connection, that it formed part and parcel of the building's curtilage.
