Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged breach of planning control had occurred by the date of issue of the notice (ground b)
- Whether the matters alleged, if they occurred, constitute a breach of planning control (ground c)
- Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control or injury to amenity (ground f)
What decided it
The quantum of equipment, frequency of vehicle repairs (up to four per week), noise generation from hand tools and engine running, and materially increased vehicle and pedestrian movements demonstrated a commercial-scale use that was not incidental to the primary residential use and constituted a material change of use requiring planning permission.
