Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the outbuilding would be within the curtilage of the dwellinghouse
  • Whether the outbuilding would not comply with E.1(c) because it would be situated on land forward of a wall forming the principal elevation of the original dwellinghouse
  • Whether the outbuilding would not comply with E.1(h) because it would include the construction of a raised platform

What decided it

The outbuilding's position on land more than 45m from the house on a steep wooded slope did not form part and parcel with the house and therefore fell outside the curtilage, and it would be situated forward of the principal elevation.
