Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's deemed refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development would not have been well founded
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide a sufficiently precise and unambiguous description of the proposed use as required by section 192 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and Planning Practice Guidance, specifying only use classes rather than the actual characteristics of the proposed use.
