Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the prior approval application was made 'before beginning the development' as required by condition MA.2.(2) of Class MA of the GPDO

What decided it

A material change of use from Class E to residential use had already occurred in part of the building before the prior approval application was submitted, therefore the application did not comply with the requirement to be made before beginning development.
