Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the breach of planning control alleged in the enforcement notice (material change of use to two self-contained units of accommodation) has occurred as a matter of fact

What decided it

The front unit's kitchen and sanitary facilities were separated from its bedroom/living area by a shared communal hallway accessible to the rear occupant, preventing it from being self-contained and therefore the alleged material change of use to two self-contained units did not occur.
