Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's refusal to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well founded, turning on whether the appellant proved on the balance of probability that the use of the property changed to mixed use for agriculture and an aerodrome on or before 3 February 2011 and that the use then continued without significant interruption for ten years after the date of the change
What decided it
The appellant's evidence of aerodrome use during the material ten-year period was too imprecise and insufficient to discharge the burden of proof on the balance of probabilities.
