Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the proposed shed falls within the residential curtilage of Milford House and would be development permitted by Class E of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
What decided it
The proposed shed site is physically part and parcel of the established curtilage of the tennis court due to its immediate adjacency and the physical separation created by the raised grass bank, making it residential curtilage to Milford House and therefore permitted development.
