Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a lawful development certificate for the use of the premises for Class E(a) purposes was well-founded
What decided it
The primary retail use in the main terrace building had been materially changed to residential use by the date of the application, and therefore the ancillary storage use in the rear extension could not endure as an ancillary use without a primary use to be ancillary to.
