Decision & conditions

Refusal of permission
Decision Notice
Planning conditions
  1. The Council is not satisfied, on the balance of probability, that the proposed nursery use would be ancillary or incidental to the existing lawful religious use and that the proposal would not materially alter the character of the lawful use of the premises. Accordingly, the proposal amounts to a material change of use requiring planning permission and is not considered lawful.
