Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse the application for a lawful development certificate was well founded

What decided it

The outbuilding would be required and provided for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse, meeting the Class E(a) test of the GPDO, as the uses were secondary and subordinate functions with no bedroom or kitchen, and the physical layout prevented realistic separation from the house.
