Planning appeal decision
28 Ash Road, Shepperton, TW17 0DN
Planning appeal 3275492 at 28 Ash Road, Shepperton, TW17 0DN (Spelthorne Borough Council) was dismissed on 7 November 2022 by Inspector Bond V, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well founded, turning on whether the proposed outbuilding would be granted planning permission by Article 3 and Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well founded, turning on whether the proposed outbuilding would be granted planning permission by Article 3 and Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended
What decided it
The excessive floor space proposed, particularly the large circulation and vacant areas around the skate ramp, led the Inspector to conclude that the outbuilding was not reasonably required to accommodate the intended uses and therefore did not qualify as permitted development under Class E.
