What decided it
The building's use as a separate self-contained dwelling was not lawful under the 2016 planning permission condition 4, and the appellant failed to provide clear evidence of four years' continuous lawful use to establish immunity from enforcement, which is a prerequisite for GPDO Part 1 to apply.
