Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's refusal to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well founded, turning on whether the erection of the summer house would have been lawful if begun on the date of the application

What decided it

The summer house would be positioned further into the plot than the side wall of the dwellinghouse and therefore did not fall within the conservation area restriction in paragraph E.3 of Class E permitted development.
