Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse the application on the grounds that the buildings do not lie within the residential curtilage of the property was well founded
What decided it
The evidence established that the entire appeal site had been used as a residential garden for over 10 years prior to the application and therefore fell within the residential curtilage of the dwelling, entitling the buildings to permitted development rights.
