Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded

What decided it

The paddock land does not have an intimate connection with the dwelling and does not serve its purposes in a reasonably necessary or useful manner, and therefore does not fall within the curtilage of the dwellinghouse for the purposes of Class E permitted development rights.
