Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the existing use of the building is that of a commercial, business and service use
  • the effect of the proposal on flood risk
  • whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers with regard to the provision of internal space

The building had not been lawfully established as a Class E use for the required continuous two-year period prior to the application, as no formal change of use permission had been granted and evidence suggested it had not been used as a commercial parking facility.
