Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the rear garden outbuilding is permitted development under Class E.(a) of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 as a building incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse
What decided it
The substantial size of the outbuilding relative to the main house, particularly the gymnasium and home office rooms, demonstrated a lack of subordination to the dwellinghouse, meaning it did not qualify as incidental development under Class E.(a) of the General Permitted Development Order.
