Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a certificate was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed use would be materially different to the established lawful use of the property

What decided it

The regular staff shift changeovers involving multiple vehicle movements and parking at the property on a 7-day-a-week basis, combined with visits from professionals, would create a pattern of activity materially different from a typical C3 dwellinghouse use.
