Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse the certificate of lawful use or development was well founded, turning on whether the proposed works and use of the existing detached garage for ancillary accommodation would be lawful
What decided it
The proposed use would be an integral part of the ordinary residential use of the dwellinghouse and would not result in a material change of use of the planning unit, therefore not amounting to development as defined by section 55 of the Act.
