Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that a material change of use to recreational purposes ancillary to the caravan site occurred 10 or more years prior to the application and continued without significant interruption, as the evidence was insufficiently precise and the levels of activity did not amount to a material change of use.
