Why it was refused

  1. There are no permitted development rights that allow the change of use applied for, from C3 use to C2 use, is considered a material change of use under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
  2. Insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that the property would still be used as a residential dwelling and therefore not represent a material change of use, as such the authority is therefore not satisfied that on the balance of probability the use class of the building is C3(b).

From the council's decision notice.
