Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the use described by the appellant falls within Class C3(b) of Part C, Schedule 1 of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 (as amended) and therefore whether or not the proposal amounts to a change of use that is materially different from the existing use of the site
What decided it
The proposed use, although falling within Class C2, would not represent a material change from the authorised use as a Class C3(a) dwellinghouse because the scale, intensity and planning impacts would be comparable to a family dwelling.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
