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 with particular regard to whether it has been demonstrated that the proposed outbuilding would be permitted development under Class E of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate with sufficient precision and clarity that all the proposed floorspace would be required for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling, as the evidence did not justify why the double garage could not reasonably accommodate the parking, workbench, tool storage, and garden equipment without the additional rooms proposed.
