Planning appeal decision
Cherry Tree Cottage, Millfield Lane, Nether Poppleton, York, YO26 6NX
Planning appeal 3297054 at Cherry Tree Cottage, Millfield Lane, Nether Poppleton, York, YO26 6NX (City of York Council) was dismissed on 1 November 2023 by Inspector Cullen F, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a Lawful Development Certificate was well founded, turning on whether the appellant has demonstrated on the balance of probabilities that the proposed erection of workshop/woodstore, potting shed and boundary fencing and construction of swimming pool would constitute permitted development by virtue of the provisions of the GPDO and would therefore be lawful.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a Lawful Development Certificate was well founded, turning on whether the appellant has demonstrated on the balance of probabilities that the proposed erection of workshop/woodstore, potting shed and boundary fencing and construction of swimming pool would constitute permitted development by virtue of the provisions of the GPDO and would therefore be lawful
What decided it
The land in Areas 1 and 3 where the proposed development would be located was not so intimately associated with Cherry Tree Cottage as to form part and parcel of the dwelling, having regard to spatial and visual separation, disproportionate size, and the degree of association required by law.
