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 materials used in the external fireplace construction (rustic brick and timber) are not of similar appearance to the existing painted stucco exterior, and therefore the development does not comply with the conditions of Class A of the General Permitted Development Order.
