Local residential property had an outbuilding that was granted planning permission in 1987 for a fish and chip shop. Local people tell me that it lasted 6 months then closed down due to not being financially viable. In 1998, there was an indoor swimming pool granted planning that was attached to this building. This building was then used as a store room and an entrance to the swimming pool. The VOA recognise this property as residential and there is no 'mixed use' regarding the rates.
The current tenant to this property wants to open up a cafe and is arguing that they have planning permission so don't need to submit a fresh application.
I'm struggling to find out whether the previous planning is still current or has it lapsed now?
