Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the facts alleged in the enforcement notice have occurred
- Whether a material change of use from C3 residential to mixed residential and commercial use has taken place
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive or whether lesser steps could mitigate the harm
What decided it
The parking of multiple commercial removal vehicles adjacent to the dwelling and the operation of the removals business from the home as a base constituted a material change of use from C3 residential to mixed residential and commercial use, which is not permitted development and has no planning permission.
