Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the operational development in the form of the building has gained immunity from enforcement action under the four-year rule
- Whether the residential use of the land and chalet has gained immunity from enforcement action
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive and lesser steps would overcome the objections
What decided it
The building was substantially completed more than four years before the enforcement notice was issued, making the operational development immune from enforcement, but the residential use lacked documentary evidence of continuous occupation and Council tax registration, preventing immunity under the four-year rule for change of use.
