Tudor House 89 Station Road West Byfleet Surrey KT14 6DT

1. 1.The proposed 'Igluhut Model Family Panorama' and 'Lushna Rainroom' outbuildings would both provide a shower, toilet and hand basin all in one room to form what would be, as a matter of fact and degree, a bathroom, which constitutes primary living accommodation and consequently is not a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse. In addition, the application lacks information regarding the proposed use of these outbuildings and the overall large size of the outbuildings has not been satisfactorily justified by the applicant. The site already contains a storage outbuilding and together with the proposed outbuildings this would result in an excessive number of outbuildings and structures for a residential garden. For these reasons the applicant has failed to demonstrate that, on the balance of probabilities, the proposed outbuildings and structures would be reasonably required for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse. The proposed development is therefore not deemed to fall within the scope of the 'permitted development' (PD) rights conferred by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
2. 2.The eaves heights of both the proposed 'Lushna Rainroom' outbuilding, and of the proposed 'pergola' structure, would be in excess of 2.5 metres. The proposal would therefore not be compliant with the requirements of Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E.1(f) of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) and as such planning permission would not be granted by Article 3 of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).

From the council's decision notice.
