Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the erection of a raised wooden platform with a height greater than 0.3 metres partly outside the dwellinghouse curtilage occurred as a matter of fact
  • Whether the alleged breach of planning control constitutes a breach of planning control

What decided it

The raised wooden platform was partly situated outside the established curtilage of the dwellinghouse and, as a Grade II listed building, development within the curtilage is not permitted under the GPDO.
