Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse the certificate of lawful use or development was well founded
What decided it
The proposed use cannot fall within Class C3(b) because the residents requiring care and supervision cannot be regarded as forming a single household when care staff work shifts and do not reside at the property, and the appellant failed to provide evidence of the previous use to establish materiality of change.
