Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the authority's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded
What decided it
The residential use commenced with the siting of the mobile home in December 2017, which was a material change of use of land rather than a change of use of an existing building, and the applicable 10-year immunity period for operational development had not elapsed at the time of the application.
