Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue an LDC was well-founded, with particular regard to whether the proposed annexe would constitute a building required for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the existing dwellinghouse as such

What decided it

The proposed annexe would provide primary living accommodation (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom) rather than a purpose merely incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse, and therefore fell outside the scope of permitted development under the GPDO.
