Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged material change of use of the Paddock Land from agricultural use to garden has occurred as a matter of fact
- Whether the erection of Buildings 1, 2 and 3 constitute development or benefit from planning permission
- The effect of Buildings 1 and 2 on the setting of the listed building Brookside Cottage and the character and appearance of Langham Conservation Area
What decided it
The Inspector's finding that the land had been in continuous residential use since 1995 meant no material change of use had occurred, and that Buildings 1 and 2 would cause no harm to heritage assets or conservation area character, justifying planning permission.
