Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: whether the Council's decision to refuse a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the outbuilding would have been lawful as permitted development under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
- Appeal B: whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control, whether it was too late to take enforcement action, whether the requirements are excessive, and whether the compliance period is too short
What decided it
The outbuilding was positioned on amenity land outside the curtilage of the dwelling and created an obstruction to highway views likely to cause danger, precluding it from being permitted development under the GPDO.
