Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development (LDC) was well founded

What decided it

The planning permissions from 1952-1959 collectively authorised the siting of no more than 100 caravans for residential use on The Land, and because caravans are movable, the permissions allow their location anywhere within the site subject to buffer zones, making the proposed use lawful.
