Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged breach of planning control (material change of use of the rear section to separate residential use) had occurred as a matter of fact
- Whether the matters alleged constitute a breach of planning control, having regard to the date of substantial completion of the building and immunity from enforcement action
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach
What decided it
The outbuilding was erected between June 2015 and August 2016 (not August 2014), so it could not have been in use for the ten years required to gain immunity from enforcement action for a C4 use.
