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 garage building would have been lawful on the date of application as permitted development under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
What decided it
The garage extension would extend beyond and sit forward of the wall forming the principal elevation of the original dwellinghouse, breaching the limitations in GPDO Classes A and E, and therefore would not have been permitted development.
