Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice have occurred (ground b)
  • Whether the matters alleged in the notice constitute a breach of planning control (ground c)

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that the use for vehicle repairs and maintenance and vehicle storage was lawful or benefited from planning permission, as evidenced by their own unsuccessful planning application in 2019 seeking permission for this exact use.
