Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed development would constitute permitted development under Article 3(1) and Class F of Part 1 and Class B of Part 2 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development)(England) Order 2015

What decided it

The limited depth of the front garden means the Highway Authority would be unlikely to grant approval for the crossover, making it unlikely the hard surface would be used for parking and therefore not demonstrating a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse.
