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 Cider House's dependence on the external facilities of Woodsend (access, parking, and outdoor amenity space) and the familial relationship between occupants meant the evidence failed to demonstrate a material change of use to a separate dwelling rather than annexe accommodation.
