- Inspector

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the existing use of the premises falls within Class E of the Use Classes Order, which is a prerequisite for permitted development under Class MA of the GPDO
- Whether the proposed accommodation complies with the Nationally Described Space Standard as required by Article 3-9A of the GPDO
- Whether the transport impacts of the development, particularly car parking provision, are acceptable
What decided it
The existing use of the premises has not been adequately demonstrated to fall solely within Class E of the Use Classes Order, and therefore the scheme cannot be considered as permitted development under Class MA of the GPDO.
