- Appeal B: whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development for a mixed use of agriculture and quads/off-road bikes was well-founded
What decided it
Appeal A: the enforcement notice lacked sufficient clarity in its description of the alleged breach and could not be corrected without causing injustice and loss of natural justice. Appeal B: the application sought a different mixed use to that which was agreed to be in operation on the land.
