Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeals A & B (ground b): Whether the alleged material change of use to a mixed use as a public house and residential accommodation had occurred
- Appeal C: Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded
What decided it
The absence of a serviceable bar and commercial kitchen at the date the enforcement notice was issued meant the public house use could not have formed part of the alleged mixed use, and the appellant's evidence failed to establish unambiguous continuous use as a single dwelling for the required 4-year period.
