Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the existing use of Flat B as a dwellinghouse occupied by four unrelated persons constitutes a material change of use requiring planning permission
What decided it
The existing use did not amount to a material change of use because the character of activities and the physical impact of the flat's occupation by four unrelated persons living communally was not significantly different from its previous use as a family dwellinghouse.
