Planning appeal decision
Organs Hill, Rock, Kidderminster, DY14 9ST
Planning appeal 3321790 at Organs Hill, Rock, Kidderminster, DY14 9ST (Wyre Forest District Council) was dismissed on 17 January 2024 by Inspector Hanson S, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed outbuilding would benefit from planning permission granted by Article 3(1) and Class E of Part 1, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015.
described as a proposed single storey detached annexe outbuilding comprising home office, home gym and home cinema/games room

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed outbuilding would benefit from planning permission granted by Article 3(1) and Class E of Part 1, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
What decided it
The paddock lies beyond the lawns and drive which have intimate association with the dwellinghouse, is delineated by vegetation, fencing and a gate, has an agricultural appearance and function rather than domestic, and therefore does not fall within the curtilage of the dwellinghouse and cannot benefit from Class E permitted development rights.
