Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: whether use of the appeal site for the storage of inert building site waste and occasional processing incidental thereto had been ongoing continuously and uninterrupted for a period of at least ten years prior to the date of application
- Appeal B: whether use of the appeal site for the storage and processing of waste had been ongoing continuously and uninterrupted for a period of at least ten years prior to the date of the enforcement notice
What decided it
The cumulative weight of evidence—including historical conveyance, local testimony, accountant's confirmation, consistent accounting records, plant hire invoices, and aerial photographs spanning from 1997—demonstrated on the balance of probability that the use had been continuous and uninterrupted for at least ten years prior to both the application date and enforcement notice date, rendering the use immune from enforcement.
