Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse the certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded
What decided it
The gap in occupancy between June 2016 and November 2017 meant the four-year enforcement time limit had not been completed by the application date, so the Council's refusal was well-founded.
