Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse the grant of a certificate of lawful use or development was well founded

What decided it

The primary use of the site was accommodation and rehoming of animals rather than provision of services principally to visiting members of the public, and therefore the use could not be classified within Class E(c)(iii) or E(e) as claimed.
