Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The proposed use of the house as a home for a maximum of three young people and two carers would not be materially different from the authorised use as a family home, with the pattern of comings and goings and restrictions on visits likely to generate fewer trips than a typical private household.
