Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the unauthorised mixed use for residential and storage has occurred for a continuous period of ten years or more prior to the issue of the enforcement notice, such that it is too late for the Council to take enforcement action
What decided it
The material change of use to the mixed residential and storage use occurred in 2018 when the timber building was completed and occupied, which is less than ten years before the enforcement notice was issued on 9 June 2022.
