Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse the LDC was well founded with particular regard to whether the proposal would involve the making of a material change of use of the appeal site
What decided it
The Inspector concluded that increasing the number of static caravans from 40 to 55, within the single planning unit already lawfully used as a holiday caravan site, would not amount to a material change in the definable character of that use.
