Planning appeal decision
17 Templar Road, Beeston, Nottingham, NG9 2DX
Planning appeal 3300684 at 17 Templar Road, Beeston, Nottingham, NG9 2DX (Broxtowe Borough Council) was allowed on 29 March 2023 by Inspector Watson S, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's decision to refuse the certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed change of use would have constituted permitted development under Class L of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended at the date of application.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse the certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed change of use would have constituted permitted development under Class L of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended at the date of application
What decided it
The Article 4 Direction removing permitted development rights under Class L did not come into effect until 26 March 2022, so the change of use would have been lawful on 16 March 2022 when the application was made.
