Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the matters stated in the enforcement notice have occurred as a matter of fact
Whether those matters, if they occurred, constitute a breach of planning control

What decided it

The outbuilding exceeds 2.5 metres in height when measured from ground level and is within 2 metres of the curtilage boundary, therefore failing to comply with the conditions and limitations of Class E of the GPDO and constituting a breach of planning control.
