Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's refusal to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well founded, turning on whether the proposed development would have been permitted by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 if commenced on the date of the application

What decided it

The hard surface would be provided, at least in part, on land that does not form part of the curtilage of the dwellinghouse, and therefore its provision is not permitted by Class F and would require an express grant of planning permission.
