Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the proposal is granted planning permission by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)
What decided it
The outbuilding would not be unusually or unreasonably large having regard to the incidental roles it is intended to serve and would be genuinely and reasonably required for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling, thus satisfying Class E of the GPDO.
