Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the material change of use took place before 20 May 2016 with the use as a single dwellinghouse continuing for at least four years thereafter (ground d)
- The effect of the extension on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the extension on the living conditions of existing and future occupiers, and neighbouring residents
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of probability that the use had been continuous for four years before enforcement action, and the extension itself causes unacceptable harm to character, appearance and living conditions.
