Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether a material change of use of the land to a caravan site (used in conjunction with the main caravan park) had subsisted on a substantially uninterrupted basis since at least 5 November 2010
What decided it
The appellant's evidence was insufficiently precise and unambiguous to show that a material change of use of the land to a caravan site had probably begun by no later than 5 November 2010, particularly given the absence of substantive evidence covering the period 1999 to 2009 and the critical gap between 2009 and 2013.
