Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A (ground d): whether the appellant can show on the balance of probabilities that the material change of use of the building began on or before 17 November 2016 and, if so, whether it continued without significant interruption for at least 4 years thereafter
- Appeal B (s195): whether the Council's decision to refuse a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the appellant can show on the balance of probabilities that the material change of use began on or before 4 August 2016 and continued without significant interruption for at least 4 years thereafter
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that the material change of use began on or before the relevant dates and continued without significant interruption for at least 4 years, due to inconsistent and contradictory evidence unsupported by corroborating documentation.
