Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged material change of use to a mixed use: virtual reality escape room, café/bar, salon and storage business has occurred as a matter of fact
- Whether the creation of a canopy and decked terrace to the western end of the building constitutes development requiring planning permission
What decided it
The three businesses operating from the appeal site were physically separate, substantially different and unrelated, constituting three separate planning units rather than a single mixed use, therefore the alleged material change of use had not occurred.
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.
