Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant the LDC for the use of the building as two flat units was well-founded

What decided it

The use of the property as two flats contravenes an active Enforcement Notice that was in force on the date of the LDC application, failing to satisfy section 191(2)(b) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
