Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged breach of planning control as stated in the enforcement notice is correct
- Whether the use of buildings B, D and E and storage land has been continuous for 10 years and is therefore immune from enforcement action
- Whether the use of buildings B, D and E and storage land was lawful at the date of the LDC application
What decided it
The appellant successfully demonstrated through statutory declarations, financial records and corroborative evidence that buildings D and E and the vehicle storage land had been continuously used for Class B8 storage purposes for more than 10 years prior to the relevant dates, rendering these uses lawful and immune from enforcement action.
