Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the residential unit in the side extension was created and occupied on a substantially uninterrupted basis for at least four years prior to the LDC application date, such that the breach of planning control is now immune from enforcement action
What decided it
The appellant's evidence was insufficiently precise and unambiguous to demonstrate that the unauthorised use had been substantially continuous for at least four years prior to the application date, and thus failed to show that the breach was immune from enforcement action.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
