The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: 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 by virtue of Class E of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended.

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 by virtue of 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 physical layout of the appeal site, including its distance from the main dwellinghouse, separation by a track and boundaries, extended parcel appearance and awkward shape, was determinative in establishing that the site fell outside the curtilage of the dwellinghouse and therefore permitted development rights did not apply.
