Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded

The appellant's evidence was too imprecise and ambiguous to establish that the short-term holiday let use fell within Class C3 and did not constitute a material change of use, as required by law.
