Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appellant has demonstrated, on the balance of probability, that the proposal would be for a use which is incidental to the use of the dwellinghouse at 91 Manor Lane
What decided it
The proposed outbuilding's uses are all genuinely subordinate and reasonably incidental to the residential use of the dwelling, and the building's size (77m²) at approximately one-third of the house's area is not excessive in the context of the property and surrounding dwellings.
