Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a lawful development certificate was well-founded

What decided it

The level of activity generated by the proposed use would be comparable to that of a single dwellinghouse occupied by a family of four, and therefore would not constitute a material change of use requiring express planning permission.
