Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse Prior Approval was well founded

What decided it

The condition imposed on the 1997 planning permission restricts permitted development rights, meaning the change of use can only be achieved through a full planning application rather than Prior Approval, which the Council was correct to refuse.
