Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The use class that the micro-brewery should come within

What decided it

A micro-brewery is a use that could have serious emissions of fumes with considerable impact on residential amenity, and therefore correctly falls within Use Class B2, not E(g)(iii), requiring a planning application rather than a certificate of lawful use.
