Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether the matters stated in the Notice constitute a breach of planning control (ground c)
What decided it
The Council's photographic evidence from 24 February 2022 demonstrated that the alleged uses and operational development had occurred on the site, and the appellant failed to provide sufficiently precise or unambiguous evidence to rebut this on the balance of probability.
