Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the stationing of a caravan for residential use constitutes a breach of planning control
- Whether the development was immune from enforcement on the date of the enforcement notice
- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach
What decided it
The appellants failed to demonstrate on the balance of probability that the caravan was used ancillary to the pub or that it had been occupied continuously and uninterrupted for ten years prior to the enforcement notice, meaning the material change of use constituted an unlawful breach of planning control.
