Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the former garage has been converted into a residential dwellinghouse as a matter of fact
  • Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice go beyond what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control

What decided it

The converted garage contains all the facilities and characteristics of an independent dwellinghouse and is used entirely independently of the main house, therefore constituting a material change of use to a separate residential unit requiring enforcement action.
