The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the appellant has shown that planning permission is granted for the proposal by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
