Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's refusal to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well founded, specifically whether there is planning permission for the use of the land as domestic garden
What decided it
The approved drawings listed in the 2018 and 2019 permissions do not show any defined garden area for Owl Cottage within the grassed area subject to this appeal, and the evidence indicates the application was amended to remove the proposed garden area from the Green Belt, meaning it has not been demonstrated on the balance of probability that the permissions permitted the creation of a garden area on the appeal site.
