Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded with particular regard to whether the proposed erection of an outbuilding would be incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse and would be permitted development under Class E of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)
What decided it
The proposed utility/kitchenette would be used solely for handwashing and basic drink preparation in association with the garage, workshop, and office uses, and would lack cooking facilities, making it incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse rather than primary living accommodation.
