Planning appeal 3300085 at Land at 144 Chesterfield Road, Dronfield, Derbyshire, S18 1XG (North East Derbyshire District Council) was dismissed on 27 July 2023 by Inspector Hartley D, 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 for the proposed outbuilding was well founded with particular regard to whether it has been demonstrated that the proposal does not meet the permitted development limitations as contained within Class E of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015.
