- Whether the alleged breach, if it occurred, constitutes a breach of planning control requiring planning permission
What decided it
The use of the premises falls entirely within Class E (coffee shop and delicatessen), and a change from one Class E use to another Class E use does not constitute development requiring planning permission.
