Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development is well-founded
What decided it
The proposed building is not genuinely and reasonably required to accommodate the proposed uses of gym, sauna, shower room, office and entertainment room, as the floorspace is substantially larger than necessary for these incidental purposes.
