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, taking account of whether the use of the outbuilding would be incidental to the dwellinghouse
What decided it
The lack of precise and unambiguous evidence as to how the spaces within the building would be used in practice meant it was unclear whether the proposed building's use would be incidental to the dwellinghouse as required by the GPDO.
