Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the planning application should have been validated by the Council
- In the event that the application should have been validated, the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the wider area
What decided it
The location plan failed to comply with statutory requirements by comprising two separate plans with overlapping red lines rather than a single plan clearly identifying the full extent of the application site, and the proposal represented a material change of use justifying the Council's fee assessment.
