- Whether or not the Authority's decision to refuse the LDC was well founded
What decided it
The installation of the static caravan in 2019 as an independent residential unit created a separate planning unit, breaking the continuity of the garden use and restarting the ten-year clock such that the use could not be lawful at the date of application.
