Planning appeal decision
60 Wesley Avenue, London, NW10 7BN
Planning appeal 3293761 at 60 Wesley Avenue, London, NW10 7BN (Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation) was decided (quashed on legal grounds) on 1 March 2024 by Inspector Braithwaite J, following an inquiry. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Appellant has provided sufficient precise and unambiguous evidence to justify a conclusion, on the balance of probability, that the alleged change of use of the dwellinghouse occurred more than four years before the date of issue of the enforcement notice, and that the use has subsisted continuously during that period and without material change.
