Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether it has been shown that planning permission is granted for the proposal by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) (the GPDO) at Article 3(1), Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E

What decided it

The second outbuilding would be considerably larger than reasonably necessary for the proposed uses, with substantial floor space for darts, games and bar facilities that could be accommodated within the enlarged dwelling, and the appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that it would be genuinely and reasonably required for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling.
