Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the alleged breach of planning control has occurred as a matter of fact
  • Whether the matters alleged constitute a breach of planning control
  • Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach

What decided it

The regular advertisement and storage of approximately 8 vehicles for sale at the property, with associated customer visits and test drives, constituted a material change of use to mixed residential and vehicle sales use, as the level and character of activity was significantly greater than would be expected from a dwellinghouse.

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
