Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed development was lawful, at the time of the LDC application, by virtue of the proposed building being within the curtilage of the dwellinghouse at No 11 Moss Court
What decided it
The extended garden, despite its lawful residential use, lies outside the curtilage of the dwellinghouse as a matter of fact and degree because it remains physically and visually separate from the original garden and more akin to an open paddock.
