Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • If the Council had refused the application would that refusal have been well-founded

What decided it

The Secretary of State's screening direction that the proposed development is EIA development means it cannot benefit from permitted development rights under the GPDO, and therefore a certificate of lawful development cannot be granted.
