Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development constitutes permitted development by virtue of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015, as amended, and whether the outbuildings are required for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse and of a scale that is genuinely and reasonably required
What decided it
The proposed outbuildings are larger than the smaller version already approved as lawful, and therefore exceed the scale that is genuinely and reasonably required to accommodate the incidental uses proposed.
