Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded

What decided it

The outbuilding was not demonstrated to be genuinely subordinate and reasonably required for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse, and the evidence regarding ground levels and height compliance with GPDO restrictions was not sufficiently precise and unambiguous.
