Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged matters of conversion into 5 self-contained flats and use of the outbuilding as a separate unit had in fact occurred by the time the notice was issued (Ground b)
- Whether the alleged matters constitute a breach of planning control (Ground c)
- Whether the alleged material change of use occurred on or before the relevant date and continued for four years without significant interruption (Ground d)
What decided it
The physical subdivision of the property into 5 self-contained flats with independent facilities constitutes a material change of use requiring express planning permission, which was not obtained, and the appellant failed to provide sufficiently precise evidence that the conversion occurred before the relevant date and was used continuously for four years.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
