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 proposal to widen the access is development permitted under Article 3(1) and Class B of Part 2 of Schedule 2 of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015

What decided it

The widened access is required in connection with the permitted hardstanding development, and applying the ordinary meaning of the legislation, a wider access is reasonably required to allow cars to be moved onto and off the site.
