Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse the application was well-founded

What decided it

The significant difference in the character of activities on the land resulting from daily staff handovers, associated vehicle movements, and the temporary and changing nature of occupancy compared to a typical dwellinghouse use constitutes a material change of use requiring planning permission.
