Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded

What decided it

The physical layout of the building and land, particularly the tributary providing a strong sense of separation and the greenhouse's location a considerable distance from the dwelling, resulted in a lack of intimate association between the dwelling and the land on which the greenhouse was being constructed.
