Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed outbuildings would be reasonably required for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse and thus constitute permitted development under Class E(a) of Schedule 2 Part 1 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015

What decided it

The size and scale of the proposed outbuilding relative to the main dwellinghouse determined whether the use would be incidental and subordinate: Appeal A's 61.34m² building was disproportionately large and failed the test, while Appeal B's 41m² building remained subordinate to the main dwelling and satisfied the permitted development criteria.
