Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a lawful development certificate was well-founded, turning on whether the use involves development or requires planning permission, and if it does, whether the time for enforcement action has expired

What decided it

The use of the land for vehicle parking was incidental to the primary residential use of 1 Michaelmas Lodge and therefore did not involve development requiring planning permission.
