Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the annex building is for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of a dwellinghouse
  • whether the building complies with the limitations in paragraph E.1(b), (c), (e) and (f) of Schedule 2, Part 1 of the GPDO

What decided it

The proposed annex building would provide primary living accommodation that is integral to rather than incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse, and therefore cannot be permitted development under Class E of Schedule 2, Part 1 of the GPDO.
