Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control

What decided it

The takeaway element, representing 32% of combined business takings, could not be considered ancillary to the restaurant use, and the mixed use resulted in a material change in the character of the site from the pre-existing retail use.
