Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether there has been a breach of planning control in the construction of the outbuilding
- Whether the compliance period of 9 months should be extended to 18 months
What decided it
The host building's unlawful status due to breach of a planning condition meant that Class E permitted development rights could not apply to the outbuilding, and the 9-month compliance period was proportionate.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Condition 3 of planning permission reference 24/00/0020
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
