Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development falls within the curtilage of the dwelling at No. 9 Lees Lane
  • Whether the provision of a 5-car garage and other facilities are required for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse
  • Whether the proposed building complies with the height limitation in Class E.1(e)(ii) of the General Permitted Development Order

What decided it

The proposed building fails to satisfy the requirement that it be reasonably required for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse, as its excessive size and capacity suggest it would not be subordinate to the main dwelling.
