Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a Certificate of Lawful Use or Development was well founded

The appellant's evidence was not sufficiently precise and unambiguous to demonstrate on the balance of probability that the existing use as a short-term holiday let did not constitute a material change of use requiring planning permission.
