What decided it

The change in Council Tax banding and site visit provided reasonable grounds for the Council to consider a breach of planning control had occurred, and the appellant's failure to submit a Certificate of Lawfulness application or provide detailed evidence of lawful use beforehand meant it was not unreasonable for the Council to issue the enforcement notice.
