Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Which elevation comprises the principal elevation of the existing dwellinghouse?
What decided it
The northern elevation, following recent substantial alterations to the property, now constitutes the principal elevation of the dwelling, placing the proposed outbuilding in front of it and therefore outside the scope of permitted development.
