Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the authority's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development is well founded; specifically whether the proposal amounts to development requiring planning permission and if so whether permission has been granted

What decided it

The proposed works constitute development requiring planning permission, no such permission had been granted before the relevant date, and therefore the authority's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful development was well-founded.
