Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal application was validly made, specifically whether an outline planning permission can be granted for a material change of use

What decided it

An outline planning application cannot lawfully include a material change of use as this falls outside the statutory definition of outline permission, which is limited to the erection of a building.
