Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a Certificate of Lawful Use or Development is well-founded
What decided it
The small scale of the operation (maximum 3 motorcycles per week), minimal traffic generation, limited noise from domestic-grade equipment used briefly, and lack of customer visits mean the business is incidental to the dwelling and does not materially change its character.
