Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse the application was well-founded
What decided it
The installation of two lockable doors, with each flat retaining independent facilities and the ability to lock its own door, would not necessarily result in a material change of use from two dwellings to a single dwelling, and therefore would not constitute development requiring planning permission.
