Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The main issue in this appeal is whether or not the Council's decision to refuse the application for the LDC was well-founded.

What decided it

The 2002 application plan clearly and unambiguously showed the mixed use permission covering the whole red-lined site with no condition restricting caravan use to a smaller area.

What the Inspector cited

Judgments: R v Ashford Borough Council v Shepway District Council [1999] PLCR 12; Cartledge v Scottish Ministers [2011] CSIH 23; Trump International Golf Club Scotland Limited v Scottish Ministers [2016] 1 WLR 85; Slough Borough Council v Secretary of State for the Environment [1995] JPL 1128; Miller-Mead v Minister of Housing and Local Government (1963) 2 QB 196
