Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a lawful development certificate was well-founded
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide clear and precise evidence to counter the Council's observations that operational development occurred in 2021 within the relevant immunity period, and insufficient evidence was presented to establish the correct planning unit and continuous use for the claimed purpose.
