Why it was refused

  1. Newark and Sherwood District Council as Local Planning Authority in pursuance of their powers under The Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2020, determines that the proposed use would fall within Use Class E, and not in the existing lawful Use Class F1, and as such the proposed development, material change of use, would not be lawful at the time of the application being submitted. A copy of the decision notice and the officer/committee report are available to view on the Council’s website.

From the council's decision notice.
