Planning appeal 3368544 at 59 Adwick Lane, Toll Bar, Doncaster, DN5 0QZ (Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council) was allowed on 27 May 2026 by Inspector Harbottle M, by written representations.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's refusal to issue a Lawful Development Certificate was well founded, turning on whether the operation of a massage service by one member of the resident household in one room 1000 to 1630 on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday only would have been lawful if it had begun on the application date

What decided it

The restricted operating hours and days (19.5 hours per week, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday only) mean the change in character of activity would not be significant and the premises would remain essentially domestic, making the change of use non-material and therefore lawful.
