Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the breach of planning control alleged in the enforcement notice has occurred as a matter of fact and whether it constitutes a breach of planning control
- Whether the use had been continuous for a period of ten years beginning with the date of the breach
- Whether the varied requirements of the notice exceed what is necessary to achieve the purpose of the notice
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that 20-22 Camberwell Church Street comprises two separate planning units or that the drinking establishment and shisha bar/lounge uses are ancillary to the restaurant use, and therefore could not discharge the burden of proof required to succeed on grounds (b), (c), (d) or (f).
