Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Ground (c): whether the matters alleged, if they occurred, constitute a breach of planning control (whether the appeal site benefits from planning permission)
Ground (d): whether the matters alleged have achieved immunity from enforcement action due to the passage of time
Ground (f): whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is reasonably necessary to remedy the breach of planning control or the injury to amenity

What decided it

The Inspector found, on the balance of probability, that the appeal site fell outside the area to which the 1999 planning permission applied and that the appellant had not proven continuous use for the required 10-year immunity period.
