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 development would constitute permitted development under Class E of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended

What decided it

The cinema room and other entertainment/relaxation spaces within the proposed outbuilding replicate primary residential uses that would normally be accommodated within the main dwellinghouse, meaning the building is not required in its entirety for incidental purposes and therefore does not qualify as permitted development under Class E.
