Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the alleged breach of planning control (change of use of the land and pool house from private residential use to mixed use of residential and commercial use for parties, events, and video shoots) has occurred as a matter of fact

What decided it

The cumulative weight of photographic evidence, social media advertising, third-party witness statements, and the appellant's own admissions in the Planning Contravention Notice established beyond doubt that the pool house was being used commercially for parties, events, and video shoots in breach of planning control.
