Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a certificate was well founded, turning on whether the site of the proposed development fell within the curtilage of the dwellinghouse 'Thorncroft'
What decided it
The proposed development site, being physically distant from the dwelling, separated by fencing and a narrow access strip, and located within a larger field not intimately associated with the dwellinghouse, fell outside the curtilage of Thorncroft and therefore could not benefit from permitted development rights.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
