Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development in respect of the use of part of the site for residential purposes in association with the use of the dwelling was well-founded

What decided it

The available evidence did not show that the caravan had been used as ancillary to the dwelling for the required ten-year continuous period; instead it appeared to have been used as separate residential accommodation, and the appellant's subsequent use as ancillary storage constituted a material change of use occurring less than eighteen months before the application date.
