Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal for a change of use from mixed use office space (Class E) to a residential dwelling (Class C3) has been justified
What decided it
The appellant failed to satisfy the requirement to demonstrate either two years of continuous marketing or robust market demand analysis, and the Inspector was not persuaded the property would be unattractive to potential occupiers given its well-appointed condition and desirable location.
