Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the use of the outbuilding as a single dwellinghouse is lawful by reason of immunity from enforcement action

What decided it

The appellant's evidence was insufficiently precise and unambiguous to show that the outbuilding had been continuously used as a single dwellinghouse for the required four-year period by 12 December 2018, due to inconsistencies in the previous owner's testimony and gaps in the tenancy records.
