Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed outbuildings would be sited forward of a wall forming the principal elevation of the original dwellinghouse, and thus whether they would benefit from Class E permitted development rights under the GPDO

What decided it

The north elevation facing Murtmead Lane, rather than the south elevation, is the principal elevation of the original dwellinghouse, meaning the proposed outbuildings would not breach the Class E restriction on siting forward of the principal elevation.
