Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council has issued a Demand Notice with an incorrectly determined deemed commencement date

What decided it

The established fact that unlawful residential use of the building continued beyond the appellant's claimed cessation date, confirmed by the VOA decision, meant the permission was retrospective and therefore the deemed commencement date was correctly determined as the date planning permission was granted.
