Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Waste Planning Authority's decision to refuse the application for a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate that the use continued uninterrupted for ten years from October 2009, as substantial gaps in documentary evidence indicated the use had ceased at various points, resetting the enforcement clock.
