Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use was well founded
What decided it
The proposed use would not result in a material difference in the character of the activities at the site compared to the existing dwellinghouse use, and therefore does not constitute development requiring planning permission.
