Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The proposed retention of cattery buildings would fundamentally conflict with the original permission's description of development as a change of use to residential only with demolition of all existing structures, which goes beyond the scope of what can be considered under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
