Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the residential use of the caravan (mobile home) on the land had continued without material interruption for a period in excess of 10 years so as to be immune from enforcement action and to entitle the Appellant to a certificate of lawful use or development
What decided it
The Inspector's finding, on the balance of probability, that the Appellant's evidence of continuous 10-year residential occupation of the caravan lacked credibility when weighed against his own earlier admissions and the 2015 appeal decision's findings.
Judgments cited: Ravensdale Limited v SSCLG [2016] EWHC 2374 (Admin); Nelsovil Limited, and Others, v Minister of Housing and Local Government [1961]
