Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's refusal to grant the certificate of lawful use or development was well founded, specifically whether the proposed outbuilding would be granted planning permission by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, as amended

What decided it

The west elevation is the principal elevation of the dwelling, and therefore the proposed outbuilding would be situated on land between a side elevation and the curtilage boundary, failing to meet the limitations of Class E of the GPDO.
