Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether at the date the enforcement notice was issued, no enforcement action could be taken under ground (d) on the basis of ten years continuous use
- Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to achieve its purpose under ground (f)
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence of ten years continuous use of the land for the storage of shipping containers and self-storage business prior to the enforcement notice being issued, and the intensification of use from 2013 onwards represented a material change that could not be lawfully established.
