Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the use of the garage as ancillary to the Class E commercial unit is lawful by virtue of ten years' continuous use immune from enforcement action

What decided it

The appellant failed to provide evidence of the garage's actual past use and its continuous functional relationship to the Class E commercial unit for ten years, and therefore did not satisfy the balance of probability test required to establish lawfulness.
