Why it was refused

  1. Summary of reasons for refusing the certificate: Based on fact and degree and on the balance of probability, the area of land that the proposed tennis court would be sited, would not be considered to fall within the residential curtilage of the dwellinghouse. As such, Permitted Development Rights granted under Schedule 2, Part 1, Classes E and F of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) would not apply in this case and Planning Permission would be required.
