The proposed buildings were to provide facilities for pottery , archery and billiards . The principal issue was whether the buildings "were ... incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling house" and thereby permitted development under General Development Order 1977 Class 1.3 . The inspector decided that they were not and dismissed the application. On appeal, QBD held that the inspector was wrong in concluding that archery was not a possible incidental purpose; it could be regarded as a hobby and practised in a building. The inspector was also wrong in applying the incidental test solely by reference to the physical size of the relevant buildings. Application allowed.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
