Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the time available to the Council for taking enforcement action against the development had expired before the date of the application for a certificate of lawful use or development
What decided it
The construction of the dwellinghouse was integral to the unauthorised material change of use of the land from horticultural to residential, making the ten-year enforcement time limit applicable rather than the four-year limit, and since less than ten years had elapsed from the commencement of residential use to the LDC application date, the development was not lawful.
