Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse the application was well founded, turning on whether the previous use fell within Use Class E(g)(iii) and if so, whether the current use falls within Use Class E such that the change was exempted from development by virtue of section 55(2)(f) of the Act
What decided it
The previous use of the premises by T Spinks comprised sheet metal fabrication and manufacturing, which the Inspector found more likely constituted a B2 use than a light industrial use falling within Use Class E(g)(iii), and therefore the change to a children's role play centre required planning permission.
