Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well founded, turning on whether the proposed use is a material change of use from the lawful use as a single dwellinghouse falling within Class C3

What decided it

The proposed use would constitute a material change of use from Class C3 dwellinghouse to Class C2 children's home due to the significantly increased frequency of staff changes, vehicle movements, and parking impacts on the residential street, which the appellant failed to demonstrate would be lawful.
