Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the detached outbuilding is required for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse as such under Class E, Part 1, Schedule 2 of the GPDO 2015
- Whether the development is within the curtilage of the Grade I listed building (Church of St John the Baptist)
What decided it
The sitting area and workroom/studio within the detached outbuilding cannot be regarded as reasonably required for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse as such, as they duplicate existing facilities or are oversized without justification.
