Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a lawful development certificate was well-founded, turning on whether the proposal represents development in respect of which planning permission would be required

What decided it

The mobile home would be used as part and parcel of the primary residential use of the existing single planning unit, providing additional living accommodation for close family members, and would not involve physical or functional separation from the main dwelling, thus not constituting a material change of use requiring planning permission.
