Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the Council's reasons for refusing the certificate of lawful use or development were well-founded
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide sufficiently precise and unambiguous information about the resident carer arrangements and the profile and needs of the young persons, preventing the Inspector from finding on the balance of probabilities that the proposed use would fall within Class C3(b) or that it would not constitute a material change of use.
