The Case

In the circumstances of the case, the inspector had not erred in his approach, and had been entitled to conclude that the erection of an aircraft hangar and hard standing by the claimant in which he housed three planes was not a use incidental to the use of a dwellinghouse for residential purposes, and thus was not permitted development within classes E and F of part 1 of Sch2 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995.
