Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's refusal to issue a certificate was well founded.
What decided it
The nature and scale of the proposed outbuilding does not comply with Class E permitted development requirements as the use is not genuinely incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse, and granting the certificate would conflict with an extant enforcement notice.
