Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded
What decided it
The principal elevation of the building is the south east elevation (not the south west as the appellant contended), which means the proposed extension would be a side extension rather than a rear extension, and therefore falls outside permitted development rights in a National Landscape area.
