Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the outbuilding constitutes permitted development under Schedule 2 Part 1 Class E of the GPDO as a building required for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
What decided it
The outbuilding provided primary residential accommodation (fitted kitchen and bathroom) integral to the use of the dwellinghouse rather than incidental to its enjoyment, and therefore did not qualify as permitted development, making the enforcement notice requirements necessary and not excessive.
