The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's refusal to grant the LDC was well founded, specifically whether the proposed outbuilding would be granted planning permission by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, as amended (GPDO).

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's refusal to grant the LDC was well founded, specifically whether the proposed outbuilding would be granted planning permission by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, as amended (GPDO)
What decided it
The proposed outbuilding, despite its substantial size, would be required for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse (swimming pool, gym, bar, and associated facilities) and therefore constitutes permitted development under Class E of the GPDO.
