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 E(a) of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development)(England) Order 2015

What decided it

The proposed building, by reason of its size, layout, orientation away from the main dwelling, inclusion of a bathroom, and apparent independent functioning, would not be for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse and therefore does not constitute permitted development.
