Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice have occurred (ground b)
  • Whether there has been a breach of planning control consisting of a material change of use (ground c)

What decided it

Storage of a caravan in a garage/workshop building does not constitute a material change of use of the land because such storage is typical for garages/workshops and the character of the use of the planning unit had not changed.
