Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a Certificate of Lawful Use or Development (LDC) is well-founded

What decided it

The land was not part of the curtilage of the dwelling and there was no material change of use to residential garden use, as the activities were sporadic and temporary rather than demonstrating regular residential garden use.
