Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site has been used continuously for a period in excess of 10 years for the stationing of a caravan for residential purposes such that it is immune from enforcement action
  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control

What decided it

The caravan was not present on the site during the 2012 planning officer's site visit, breaking the continuity required for the 10-year immunity period to run from before 16 December 2021.
