Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development is well-founded

What decided it

The proposed outbuilding would have been permitted development under Class E of the GPDO because its component uses (swimming pool, yoga room, and ancillary facilities) would have been reasonably required for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the pre-existing dwellinghouse, with the scale and proportions being appropriate and not excessive for those purposes.
