Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be permitted development under Class M of the GPDO
What decided it
The existing building is in mixed residential and takeaway use, not one of the specified uses under Class M(a)(i) of the GPDO, and therefore the proposed change of use would not constitute permitted development.
