Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse the certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded

What decided it

The degree of functional and physical interconnectedness between the annex and main house, combined with shared access, amenity space, parking and services, meant the buildings would be occupied as a single household and thus no material change of use would occur.
