Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed building would have been lawful at the time the application was made and whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate was well-founded
- Whether the proposal would amount to permitted development under Class E, Part 1, of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
- Whether the building would be required for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse on account of its scale
What decided it
The proposed building is reasonably required for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse (storage and repair of vintage tractors, hay and straw storage, horse box parking, and equipment storage) and its scale is proportionate to the functional needs of those activities and the substantial curtilage, thereby falling within Class E permitted development.
