Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the use of the property as a single dwellinghouse has been abandoned, as a matter of fact and degree and on the balance of probabilities
What decided it
The combination of substantial period of non-use (15 years), severely deteriorated physical condition of the building, and lack of sufficient evidence of the owner's intention to resume residential use meant the appellant failed to discharge the burden of proof that the use as a dwelling had not been abandoned.
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.
