Nourse, Pill, Thorpe LJJ
Planning
The outbuildings of a large country house had been converted into ten single self-contained units of residential accommodation for the purpose of holiday lettings. Nine of the units were in use by May 1991. In May 1995 the local planning authority issued an enforcement notice alleging a material change of use from residential to mixed use of residential and as ten units of holiday accommodation. If the change of use of each of the units was a change of use to a single dwelling-house the enforcement notice was not served within the four year time-limit in section 171B(2) of the Act. Held: The conversion of an outhouse on a country estate into ten separate dwellings was not one single conversion with ten year use limitation, but the four year limit applied.
Nourse LJ said: "In my judgment, McCullough J's approach to the meaning of "dwellinghouse" was entirely correct. Although we were not referred to any of the many other decisions on the meaning of that word in other areas of the law, I am confident that an examination of them would reveal no requirement that before a building can be so described it must be occupied as the permanent home of one or more persons or the like. Nor do 10 self-contained units of residential accommodation which would otherwise be properly described as 10 single dwelling houses cease to be used as such because they are managed as a whole for the commercial purpose of holiday or other temporary lettings. Accordingly, I am satisfied that the Secretary of State applied an incorrect test in this case and that if he had applied the correct test, he could only have properly concluded that the 10 units are being used as 10 single dwellinghouses within section 171B(2) of the Act."

Failure to obtain environmental statement did not vitiate planning decision where there had otherwise been a thorough and fair planning procedure. A finding that the Secretary had acted in breach of regulations governing procedure on planning appeals, was a factor to be allowed for when deciding costs even though it did not affect the outcome.
