Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue an LDC was well-founded.
What decided it
The welfare facility's base unit formed part of a structure subject to an extant 2016 enforcement notice requiring its permanent removal, so its continued siting would contravene the notice and could not be certified as lawful.
What the Inspector cited
- Judgments
- Measor v SSETR & Tunbridge Wells DC [1999] JPL 182
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
