Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse the certificate of lawful use or development was well founded
What decided it
The proposed works constitute development that materially affects external appearance and are not permitted development in a Conservation Area, therefore planning permission is required and the certificate of lawful use cannot be granted.
