Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well founded
What decided it
The excavation works required were limited to the building footprint and did not amount to a separate engineering operation, therefore the development fell within Class E permitted development under the GPDO.
