Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed use would have been lawful at the time the application was made and whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate was well-founded based on relevant facts and any relevant judicial authority
What decided it
The introduction of a second mobile home would materially alter the balance between residential use of the dwellinghouse and use as a caravan site, with the caravans becoming the primary form of accommodation and a dominant visual presence, thereby constituting a material change of use from Use Class C3 dwellinghouse to a mixed use including caravan site.
