Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the change of use of the extension to a new dwelling occurred at least four years prior to the enforcement notice being issued (ground d appeal)
- Whether the entrance lobby/porch constitutes permitted development (ground c appeal)
What decided it
The appellants failed to prove on the balance of probability that the change of use to a dwellinghouse occurred at least four years before the enforcement notice was issued, as evidenced by inconsistent dates in their statutory declarations and planning applications, and the first tenancy commencing after the material date.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
