Authority: Cornwall Council
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Change of use
Inspector: Jarratt P
Postcode: TR14 0DW

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the caravan with decking has remained as a caravan or has the characteristics of a building
Whether the enforcement notices were properly served
Whether it is too late to take enforcement action
Whether the requirements of the notice are excessive

What decided it

The mixed use of the land for residential and agricultural purposes commenced after the appellant acquired the land in 2012, so the uses have not acquired immunity from enforcement action under section 171B(3) which requires a 10-year period for mixed uses.
