Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the building was constructed after 5 March 2018
  • The transport and highways impacts of the development

What decided it

The building was incapable of occupation or its intended uses on 5 March 2018, as evidenced by the physical state of the site in April 2018 showing ongoing construction activity and unconnected utilities, therefore it was constructed after the 5 March 2018 cut-off date and the proposal is not permitted development.
