Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse the certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded

What decided it

The proposed use of the outbuilding to provide carer accommodation was functionally linked to the use of the main property and did not create a separate planning unit or dwelling, therefore it did not constitute development requiring planning permission.
