Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development for which permission was granted on 29 April 2019 has been started; and if it was started before that permission otherwise expired

What decided it

The appellant failed to discharge the burden of proof to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that the excavation works undertaken were referable to the approved development and that the development had been lawfully begun within the three-year permission period.

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
