What decided it
The scale and magnitude of the scrap metal dealing, storing and processing activity, evidenced by substantial quantities of metal items stacked to 1.8 metres height occupying extensive parts of the grounds, constituted a material change of use to a primary mixed use rather than activity incidental to residential enjoyment, and no planning permission for this development was granted.
