Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant an LDC was well-founded with particular regard to whether the proposed detached garage and detached ancillary outbuilding are permitted development given the limitations and conditions of Class E of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO
What decided it
The proposed outbuildings would be positioned less than 2 metres from the curtilage boundary (1.85-1.95 metres), exceeding the 2.5 metre height restriction in Class E.1(e) of the GPDO, and the plan contained unresolvable ambiguity about their precise positioning.
