Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the land on which the garage would be sited falls within the curtilage of the dwellinghouse and therefore benefits from Class E permitted development rights under the GPDO
What decided it
The physical separation of the site from the main garden by a fence and its access only via the forecourt meant the land did not form one enclosure with the dwelling and therefore fell outside curtilage.
