Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the Council's refusal to issue the LDC was well-founded
What decided it
The appellant adequately demonstrated that the outbuilding was genuinely and reasonably required for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse, given the limited communal living space in the main dwelling and the need to separate multiple activities for multiple occupants.
