Planning appeal 3300634 at 19 Winstanley Road, Waterloo, Liverpool, L22 4QN (Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council) was allowed on 13 December 2022 by Inspector Moore D, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: 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.
