Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal land falls within the curtilage of the dwellinghouse at No 22 Spinnerbottom, and therefore whether the two outbuildings constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the GPDO
What decided it
The appeal land, although in lawful residential use and owned by the appellant, is physically and perceptually separate from the dwellinghouse and does not form an integral part of its curtilage, and therefore the outbuildings cannot benefit from permitted development rights under Class E of the GPDO.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 154
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
