Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse a certificate of lawful use or development was well founded, turning on whether the proposed open shed would be lawful as permitted development under Article 3 and Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
What decided it
The total enlargement comprising the 1980 garage extension and the proposed shed exceeds the width limitation in Class A(j)(iii) of the General Permitted Development Order 2015, as it extends beyond the side wall of the original dwellinghouse and would be greater than half the width of the original dwellinghouse.
