- Whether the Council's reasons for refusing the certificate of lawful use or development were well-founded
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that the L-shaped structure met the construction and mobility tests required by the Caravan Sites Act 1968 for it to be classified as a caravan rather than operational development in the form of a building.
