Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse the application for a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded in respect of both the use of land as a garden and the use of the stable as a separate residential unit
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate with sufficient precision and unambiguity that the land had been used continuously as a garden for the required ten-year period, as the concurrent use as a caravan site and the presence of hardstanding for car parking introduced ambiguity into the evidence.
