Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded

What decided it

The proposed building's size of approximately 175 square metres, exceeding the ground floor of the dwelling, was not reasonably required for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse, as the appellant failed to justify the extensive space proposed beyond what was necessary for the swimming pool and gym activities.
