Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether those matters constitute a breach of planning control (ground c)
What decided it
The Council's substantial photographic and documentary evidence of car wash, vehicle service and repair activities at the site, combined with the lack of any objective evidence from the appellants to support their contrary claims, established that the breach of planning control had occurred and constituted development requiring planning permission.
