Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal proposal amounts to permitted development, accounting for the condition imposed on permission ref 86/0444
What decided it
The condition imposed on the original permission restricting the building to ancillary use to the butchers' shop remained binding and was not removed by the cessation of the butchers use or demolition of part of the extension, therefore the proposed works could not amount to permitted development.
