Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether a material change of use from Class E to Class F1 has occurred
  • Whether the use falls within Class E or Class F1 of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 (as amended)

What decided it

The music tuition use, involving multiple staff teaching groups in multiple rooms operating extensively throughout the year with documented noise nuisance, falls within Class F1 (education) rather than Class E, and therefore constitutes a material change of use requiring planning permission.
