Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the design or external appearance of the building would be acceptable
- Whether or not it would be undesirable for the building to change to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouses), having particular regard to the impact of the change of use on the adequate provision of services
What decided it
The building was in active use as a party shop with a reasonable prospect of continued retail provision, making it undesirable to lose this service provision despite the location being out-of-centre.
