Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appellant can show, on the balance of probability, that the residential use of the mobile home and the outbuilding had subsisted on a substantially uninterrupted basis for at least ten years prior to the date of the LDC application
What decided it
The appellant's evidence did not demonstrate substantially uninterrupted residential use for the required ten-year period, as the pattern of stays for weeks at a time necessarily implied significant breaks in occupation when the enforcement immunity clock would have stopped ticking.
