Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the use of the appeal premises as a motorbike rental and repairs shop falls within Use Class E(g)(iii) and therefore does not constitute a material change of use requiring planning permission

What decided it

The evidence of severe noise and vibration disturbance to neighbouring residents demonstrated that the motorbike rental and repairs use could not fall within Use Class E(g)(iii) and therefore constituted an unauthorised material change of use.
