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 substantial size and footprint of the proposed outbuilding compared to the dwellinghouse, combined with the lack of precise and unambiguous evidence regarding the necessity of the rooms, meant the building would not be incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse as required by the GPDO.
