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.
