Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the decision by the Council to refuse to grant an LDC is well-founded
What decided it
The proposed tanning salon use falls within Use Class E as a service to visiting members of the public in a commercial, business or service locality, and therefore does not constitute development requiring planning permission.
