- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the use of the site as described was lawful when the application was made
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of probability that the site has been continuously used as an equestrian centre comprising a showground with showing and eventing at sufficient scale and regularity over any 10-year period to establish lawfulness of that specific use.
