Planning appeal decision
The Corn House, Billesley Lane, Alvechurch, Birmingham, B48 7HF
Planning appeal 3330065 at The Corn House, Billesley Lane, Alvechurch, Birmingham, B48 7HF (Bromsgrove District Council) was dismissed on 1 August 2025 by Inspector Jones D, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a lawful development certificate for the detached outbuilding was well-founded, turning on whether the development benefits from planning permission granted by Article 3(1) and Class E, Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).

What decided it
The detached outbuilding is situated on land forward of the northern elevation, which is the principal elevation of the original dwellinghouse, and therefore does not benefit from permitted development rights under Class E of the GPDO.
