- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful development is well-founded
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that the material change of use from C3 to C4 had occurred before the Article 4(1) Direction came into force on 17 November 2024, as the photographic evidence showed only early-stage demolition works with substantial conversion works remaining.
