Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the use of the Inn falls primarily into Article 3(6)(p) or (q) (drinking establishments etc), or Class E(b) (sale of food and drink etc.) of the UCO and is granted deemed consent for the provision of a moveable structure within its curtilage by virtue of Class G of Part 2 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO
Whether the uses constitute a mixed use of the premises, and the provision of a moveable structure is not permitted development under Class G

What decided it

The use of the premises is a composite mixed use (sui generis) comprising three distinct and balanced activities (public house, restaurant, and hotel accommodation) rather than a primary use falling within Article 3(6)(p) or (q) or Class E(b) of the Use Classes Order, and therefore does not qualify for permitted development rights under Class G of the GPDO.
