Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the alleged breach of planning control (use of the land as an all-weather karting track with associated reception and pit area use) has occurred as a matter of fact
Whether the use constitutes a breach of planning control having regard to the 1996 planning permission and the 2011 outline permission

What decided it

The continuing use of the site for karting since 1996 under a valid planning permission was not displaced by insignificant works to implement a later permission, and therefore did not constitute a breach of planning control.
