Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether a material change of use from residential to short term holiday letting as two self-contained apartments had occurred as a matter of fact
- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
What decided it
The evidence of the property being advertised as two separate holiday lets with independent facilities and access, combined with the layout observed during the site visit, demonstrated a material change of use had occurred, and the enforcement notice requirements were necessary to remedy this breach.
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.
