Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged breach of planning control (material change of use to temporary sleeping accommodation for more than 90 nights in the same calendar year) has occurred as a matter of fact
What decided it
The Council's own evidence confirmed the dwelling was used for short-term letting for only 90 nights per year, not exceeding the 90-night threshold alleged in the enforcement notice, meaning the alleged breach had not occurred as a matter of fact.
