Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: Whether the use of land edged blue as garden land in association with the domestic use of Leasowe House and Leasowe Cottage had become lawful by the passage of time
- Appeal B: Whether the proposed replacement dwellings comply with Local Plan Policy H13 regarding replacement dwellings in the open countryside, specifically whether they would be materially larger than the existing dwellings and have an adverse impact on the character and openness of the rural area
What decided it
The proposed replacement Leasowe House would be materially larger than the existing dwelling and would have an unacceptable adverse impact on the character and openness of the surrounding open countryside, contrary to Local Plan Policy H13.
Plan policies cited: Policy H13, Policy H14, Local Plan para. 4.87
