Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a lawful development certificate was well-founded; specifically whether the increase in the scale of the proposed use would reach the point where it would give rise to such materially different planning circumstances that it would result in such a change in the definable character of the use that it would amount to a material change of use

What decided it

As a matter of fact and degree, the scale of the proposed use would not reach the point where it would give rise to such materially different planning circumstances that it would result in such a change in the definable character of the use that it would amount to a material change of use.
