Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the LPA's decision to refuse in part to grant a certificate of lawful development for a dwellinghouse, driveway and access built at Lower Ledicot Farm not in accordance with the terms of planning permission reference 27427 was well-founded

What decided it

The dwelling as built was substantially the same as that approved in the 1969 planning permission, with differences attributable to subsequent additions and the 1983 permission, so it was lawful as the permitted development rather than as an unlawful development immune from enforcement.

What the Inspector cited

Judgments: Slough Estates v Slough BC (No 2) [1970] 2WLR 1187
