Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the erection of two buildings constitutes a breach of planning control, turning on whether the buildings are permitted development by virtue of being on land forward of a wall forming the principal elevation of the original dwellinghouse
What decided it
The buildings are located on land forward of the principal elevation of the dwellinghouse and therefore fail to comply with the permitted development condition E.1.(c), meaning they do not constitute permitted development.
