Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the existing use of the building falls within Class E of the Use Classes Order, such that the development can constitute permitted development under Class MA of the GPDO

What decided it

The existing use of the upper floors could not be clearly demonstrated to fall solely within Class E due to evidence of religious worship and other activities, meaning the ground floor as a whole did not fall within Class E and Class MA permitted development did not apply.
