Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal is permitted development having regard to the provisions of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class O of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) and, in particular, whether the building is within the curtilage of a listed building
  • The effect of the proposed development on the operation of the highway in the vicinity of the appeal site with particular regard to car parking

What decided it

The finding that Harrington House is within the curtilage of the Grade I listed Swakeleys, meaning the change of use is not permitted development under Class O of the GPDO.
