The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether planning permission is granted for the proposal by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A 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 refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether planning permission is granted for the proposal by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)
What decided it
The side elevation of the dwelling fronts a highway, and therefore the proposal breaches the limitation in paragraph A.1(e)(ii) of Class A of the GPDO, meaning planning permission is not granted by the permitted development order.
