Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded
What decided it
The use of the flat roof as an amenity terrace is incidental to the use of the flat as a dwellinghouse and therefore does not constitute development requiring planning permission under section 55(2)(d) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
