Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether, if the Council had refused the application for a certificate of lawful use or development, their refusal would have been well-founded

What decided it

The Planning Enforcement Order made by the Magistrates Court on the basis of deliberate concealment means the time for enforcement action has not expired, and therefore the development cannot be certified as lawful.
