Planning appeal decision
79 Fernside Road, Poole, BH15 2JQ
Planning appeal 3339454 at 79 Fernside Road, Poole, BH15 2JQ (Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole) was allowed on 17 February 2025 by Inspector Douglas L, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a Lawful Development Certificate was well-founded, with particular regard to whether the proposed shed would have been 'permitted development' under Article 3(1) and Class E of Part 1, Schedule 2 of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
described in the appeal form as a ready-built timber garden shed

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a Lawful Development Certificate was well-founded, with particular regard to whether the proposed shed would have been 'permitted development' under Article 3(1) and Class E of Part 1, Schedule 2 of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)
What decided it
The shed accorded with all limitations of Class E of the GPDO, including the height restriction when measured from the correct ground level (the brick paviours), and therefore benefitted from permitted development rights on the date of application.
