Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the alleged development has occurred as a matter of fact
  • Whether the alleged development, if it has occurred, constitutes a breach of planning control
  • Whether at the date the notice was issued, no enforcement action could be taken in respect of any breach of planning control
  • Whether the steps required by the notice are excessive
  • Whether the time given to comply with the notice is too short

What decided it

The Inspector concluded that the alleged mixed use of restaurant, shisha café and nightclub constitutes a material change of use requiring planning permission, and that the appellant failed to demonstrate either that the previous 1983 planning permission was implemented and remained extant, or that the use had continued for the ten-year period necessary to be immune from enforcement action.
