Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the use applied for would be lawful for planning purposes, depending firstly on whether planning permission was granted to erect the outbuilding by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the GPDO, and secondly whether the proposal falls within the definition of development in s55(1) of the Act
What decided it
The outbuilding was genuinely erected in compliance with Class E permitted development rights for incidental purposes, and converting part of it to an extra bedroom would not involve a material change of use but would remain ancillary to the primary HMO use.
