Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice have occurred
  • Whether, if they occurred, they constitute a breach of planning control by way of material change of use

What decided it

The sale of alcohol and playing of live music, on the scale and frequency described, 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.
