- Whether the development constitutes a breach of planning control (ground c)
What decided it
The canopy structure displays sufficient permanence and physical characteristics to constitute a building operation requiring express planning permission, which was not granted, and the material change of use to incorporate shisha smoking is likely to constitute development requiring express planning permission, with the burden on the appellant to prove otherwise not being discharged.
