White Lodge Old Stafford Road Slade Heath WOLVERHAMPTON WV10 7PH

1. 1.Based on the evidence available, Planning Permission 10/00697/COU for 'Conversion of coach house to domestic annexe' at White Lodge, Old Stafford Road, Slade Heath, appears to have been implemented and therefore Condition 6 of this consent, which removes Permitted Development (PD) Rights including those under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the General Permitted Development Order 2015 (as amended) has taken effect. Consequently, the current proposal for the erection of an oak frame gym and garage under Class E is not permitted development and requires an application for Planning Permission.
2. 2.The proposed oak framed gym outbuilding by reason of its excessive size relative to the host dwelling and in the absence of demonstrable need for the proposed uses contained within the proposed building, fails to meet an objective test of reasonableness. Based on the information submitted and the fact and degree of this case, the proposed oak framed gym outbuilding would not be considered reasonably required for a purpose which is incidental to the enjoyment of the main dwellinghouse and therefore the proposal would not constitute permitted development under the terms of Class E of the General Permitted Development Order 2015 (as amended).
3. 3.The height of the eaves of the proposed oak framed gym outbuilding would exceed 2.5 metres. The proposed oak framed gym therefore fails Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E, Paragraph E.1 (f) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
4. 4.The height of the proposed oak framed garage would exceed 4 metres in the case of a building with a dual-pitched roof. The proposed oak framed garage therefore fails Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E, Paragraph E.1 (e) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
5. 5.Insufficient information has been provided to enable the Local Planning Authority to establish whether the height of the proposed oak framed garage would exceed 2.5 metres in the case of a building, enclosure or container within 2 metres of the boundary of the curtilage of the dwellinghouse. The proposal therefore fails Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E, Paragraph E.1 (e)(ii) of The Town and County Planning (General Permitted Development)(England) Order 2015 (as amended).
6. 6.The height of the eaves of the proposed oak framed garage outbuilding would exceed 2.5 metres. The proposed oak framed gym therefore fails Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E, Paragraph E.1 (f) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
7. 7.Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposed oak framed garage would be reasonably required for a purpose which is incidental to the enjoyment of the main dwellinghouse and would satisfy an objective test of reasonableness. The proposal would not therefore constitute permitted development under the terms of Class E of the General Permitted Development Order 2015 (as amended). Consequently, it has not been demonstrated that the proposed oak framed garage would be lawful if instituted or begun at the time of the application, therefore this application is hereby refused in accordance with Section 192 (2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
