- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful development was well founded
What decided it
The appellants provided detailed statutory declarations demonstrating that the size of the outbuilding was reasonably required for the incidental uses of garaging, workshop, home office, gym and storage, and the building is subordinate to the dwellinghouse in land-use terms, thus falling within permitted development rights under Class E(a) of the GPDO.
