Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue the LDC sought was well-founded

What decided it

The appeal site is a single planning unit in mixed use (residential, workshop and commercial garage) rather than separate units, and the mixed use has not been proven for the full 10-year period required for immunity from enforcement action.
