Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the material change of use of the outbuilding to a self-contained dwelling constitutes a breach of planning control
  • Whether the breach was immune from enforcement action at the date the notice was issued
  • Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach
  • Whether the period specified for compliance is reasonable

What decided it

The appellant provided no credible evidence that the outbuilding and main dwellinghouse were occupied as a single household or that the use was incidental, and the shower room was found to have been installed purely to facilitate the unauthorised change of use to a self-contained dwelling.
