Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse a certificate of lawful use or development is well-founded

What decided it

The proposed change from 7 to 8 bedrooms does not amount to a material change of use within section 55(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 because it does not bring about a definable change in the character of the main use of the whole building.
