Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether, on the balance of probabilities, the appellants have shown that the alleged mixed use of the building (restaurant, entertainment venue and shisha lounge, Sui Generis) has not occurred as a matter of fact (ground (b))

What decided it

The Inspector found that the building was, in fact, in a wider composite mixed use including commercial/office uses not referred to in the enforcement notice, so the alleged breach had not occurred exactly as alleged.

What the Inspector cited

Judgments: Burdle & Williams v SSE & New Forest RDC [1972] 1 WLR 1207

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
