Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the existing use of the application site falls within Use Class E or is a sui generis mixed use comprising restaurant and drinking establishment, and whether the residential use on the first floor can be ancillary to the restaurant use
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide sufficiently detailed and consistent evidence to demonstrate that the existing use falls within Use Class E rather than being a sui generis mixed use, and the residential component could not be established as ancillary to the restaurant use.
