Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a Certificate of Lawfulness for Existing Use or Development was well-founded

What decided it

The material change of use that occurred in November 2018 when the dwelling was sold and the outbuilding retained separately, creating two distinct planning units in separate uses, had not gained immunity from enforcement action as it had continued for significantly less than ten years when the CLUED application was made in June 2024.
