Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether, at the time the enforcement notice was issued, it was too late to take enforcement action under section 174(2)(d) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990

What decided it

The granting of a certificate of lawful use for the existing building's B8 storage use conclusively proved immunity from enforcement action for that building only, but the remainder of the site remained subject to the notice as no evidence demonstrated ten years' continuous storage use.
