- Whether the stationing of a bus and other vehicles on the rear garden land constitutes a material change of use from residential to mixed residential and vehicle storage use

The storage of the bus and other vehicles on the land is not incidental to the lawful residential use as it is not a normal functional relationship and represents a material change of use to mixed residential and vehicle storage use for which no planning permission has been granted.
