Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development is well-founded

What decided it

The proposed buildings fail to meet the requirement that they be genuinely and reasonably required for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse, as a significant proportion of the proposed uses would not be incidental and the buildings would not be subordinate to the primary residential use.
