Why it was refused

  1. Reason 1 It has not been demonstrated, on the balance of probability, that the proposed outbuilding would be sited on land within the curtilage of the dwellinghouse. Accordingly, the proposed outbuilding cannot benefit from the provisions of Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). There is no other Class of development within the Order which the application could rely on. The proposed outbuilding would require express planning permission from the Local Planning Authority. It could not otherwise be lawfully constructed. A Certificate of Lawfulness in these circumstances cannot be granted. Pursuant to Section 192 of The Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), the application for a Certificate of Lawfulness is refused. Reason 2 It has not been demonstrated, on the balance of probability, that the proposed outbuilding would be constructed for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse. Accordingly, the proposed outbuilding cannot benefit from the provisions of Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). There is no other Class of development within the Order which the application could rely on.
