Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well founded

What decided it

The patio is a raised platform which is expressly excluded from permitted development rights under the GPDO, and the lean-to pergola cannot benefit from permitted development because it is constructed on an unlawful structure.
