Planning appeal decision
Wildberry Nook Willow Road, Martley, Worcester, WR6 6PS
Planning appeal 3363872 at Wildberry Nook Willow Road, Martley, Worcester, WR6 6PS (Malvern Hills District Council) was dismissed on 30 April 2026 by Inspector Hanson S, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the building would constitute permitted development by virtue of Article 3(1) and Class E(a) of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the building would constitute permitted development by virtue of Article 3(1) and Class E(a) of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
What decided it
The appeal land lacks the intimate physical and functional association with the dwelling required to establish it as residential curtilage, and therefore the proposed outbuilding does not fall within the scope of permitted development under Class E of the GPDO.
