Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the erection of the unauthorised front and rear structures constitutes a breach of planning control
What decided it
The site was in lawful use as a café (Class A3) at the time the structures were erected, not a shop, and therefore the structures could not benefit from permitted development rights for collection facilities or temporary use structures.
