Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision not to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well founded
What decided it
The failure to obtain prior approval for the cowls as required by the General Permitted Development Order 2015, combined with the material alteration to the building's external appearance and potential noise implications, meant the development could not be certified as lawful.
