Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development falls within the terms of permitted development rights under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class MA of the GPDO, with regard to the change of use having already been undertaken
  • if so, whether prior approval should be granted in respect of transport impacts of the development, particularly to ensure safe site access, and the impact on the local provision of services lost (registered nursery)

What decided it

The development had already been completed before prior approval was sought, which breaches the mandatory procedural requirement that development must not begin before receipt of written notice granting or refusing prior approval.
