Why it was refused

Aerial photographs of the site taken in 2022 and 2023 and site photographs show the hardstanding is situated outside the residential curtilage of the dwelling known as Carr House, 25 Carr House Lane.
The location of the hardstanding is outside the curtilage of the dwellinghouse as it does not fall within the definition of 'curtilage' (as defined in the Court of Appeal case Dyer v Dorset CC (1988)).
From the information provided it isn't clear or precise as to what the hardstanding will be used for. The development will only be permitted development if the provision of the hardstanding will be for any purpose that is incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse. For these reasons based on the evidence provided the conclusion reached is that the hardstanding area does not constitute permitted development by virtue of Class F of Part 1 of Schedule 2 to The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) and requires planning permission.
