Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether it has been shown that on the balance of probability the use of the building as nine flats began more than four years prior to the date of the application and has been continuous thereafter
What decided it
The cumulative weight of the appellant's contemporaneous documentary evidence, including Council Tax records, tenancy agreements, and benefits payment records, established on the balance of probability that the use as nine flats had been continuous for more than four years before the application date, making enforcement action time-barred.
