- Whether there would be a material change of use from the lawful use as a single dwellinghouse falling within Class C3(a) of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987

The appellant failed to discharge the burden of proof to show that the proposed supported living arrangement would not constitute a material change of use from the established C3(a) dwellinghouse use, given the lack of evidence demonstrating the residents would form a single household.
