Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice have occurred (ground b)
  • Whether the matters alleged, if they occurred, constitute a breach of planning control (ground c)

What decided it

The sale of alcohol and playing of live music are incidental to the lawful primary gallery and café uses and do not result in a significant difference in the character of use of the building, therefore no material change of use has occurred.
