Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the change of use from offices to gymnasium/fitness studio and the associated works constitute a breach of planning control
  • Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
  • Whether the compliance period of two months is reasonable

What decided it

The change of use from offices to gymnasium/fitness studio constituted a material change of use between different use classes (B1 to D2) that required planning permission, and the associated external works constituted development requiring permission, therefore the enforcement notice was properly issued and the steps required were necessary to remedy the breach.
