Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's deemed refusal to grant a lawful development certificate was well-founded
What decided it
The appellant's evidence was insufficiently precise and unambiguous to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that the site had been used for purposes within Class B1 (now Class E), as the building appeared primarily to be a warehouse rather than offices.
