Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal property has been used as a short term let as a matter of fact
- Whether the change of use from Class C3 dwellinghouse to short term let constitutes a material change of use and breach of planning control
- Whether the enforcement notice was properly served
- Whether the requirements of the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach
What decided it
The material change of use from Class C3 dwellinghouse to short term let use, evidenced by the type and increase in activities including multiple occupant groups, noise and anti-social behaviour complaints, and the issuing of a Community Protection Warning, constitutes development requiring planning permission which was not granted.
