Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether there would be a material change of use from the lawful use as a single dwellinghouse falling within Class C3 to the proposed use as a home for up to three children or young people

The significantly greater vehicle movements and associated comings and goings generated by the proposed care home use, including tutors, care workers, managers and family visitors, compared to a single family dwelling, would constitute a material change of use requiring planning permission.
