Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether, at the date when the enforcement notice was issued, no enforcement action could be taken in respect of the breach of planning control on ground (d) of section 174(2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, based on whether the use for human habitation had achieved immunity from enforcement action through 10 years of continuous use

What decided it

The appellant's evidence, including Statutory Declarations, only established that human habitation of the static caravan began in early to mid-June 2009, which is after the material date of 11 April 2009 required to establish a 10-year immunity from enforcement action.
