Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's refusal to issue a certificate of lawfulness in respect of the mixed use of the land for a concrete batching plant and for the siting of a residential caravan was well-founded

What decided it

The physical separation, difference in levels, and lack of functional link between the caravan area and the concrete batching plant area meant they constituted separate planning units rather than a single mixed-use unit, and the appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that a mixed use had been established.
