Planning appeal 3294937 at 90, Peddars Lane, Stanbridge, LU7 9JD (Central Bedfordshire) was dismissed on 19 April 2023 by Inspector Pleasant L, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a Certificate of Lawful Use or Development was well founded, specifically whether the proposed building would fall within the curtilage of the dwellinghouse for the purposes of permitted development rights under Class E, Part 1, Schedule 2, Article 3 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015.

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, specifically whether the proposed building would fall within the curtilage of the dwellinghouse for the purposes of permitted development rights under Class E, Part 1, Schedule 2, Article 3 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
What decided it
The former meadow land on which the building would be sited, although now in residential use and contiguous with the original garden, is too extensive in scale and remote from the dwellinghouse to fall within its curtilage for permitted development purposes.
