Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The east-facing elevation, which contains the main entrance doorway and architectural features including a bay window and symmetrically framed windows, constitutes the principal elevation of the original dwellinghouse, and the proposed outbuilding would be situated forward of this principal elevation in breach of Class E.1(c) of the Order.
