Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged breach of planning control has taken place as a matter of fact (ground b)
- Whether the use constitutes a contravention of planning control (ground c)
- Whether the use is immune from enforcement action by virtue of the ten-year rule (ground d)
What decided it
The appeal site was not established as forming part of the residential curtilage of 'Gynring' and therefore the storage of building materials constituted an unauthorised material change of use not immune from enforcement action.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
