Hi Peter,
It's worth bearing in mind that it is possible to obtain a Certificate
of Lawful Development for Existing Use - CLUED. The general proviso
being that you must be able to substantiate that the "existing use" has
persisted for a period of 10 years. Always worth investigating as the
granting of such a certificate is "evidence-based" and not supposed to
be at the whim of an official.
