- Appeal type
- enforcement · Enforcement Notice
- Procedure
- Written Representations
- Development
- residential · Minor traveller and caravan pitches
- Inspector
- Dyer S
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: whether the enforcement notice is properly formulated and whether the alleged breach of Condition 3 has occurred; whether the steps required exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach; whether the compliance period is reasonable
- Appeal B: whether the Council's decision to refuse the certificate of lawful use was well-founded
What decided it
Appeal A: the Council's evidence that non-gypsy/traveller persons occupied the site triggered the condition requiring removal of the building, and the six-month compliance period was proportionate. Appeal B: the appellant's evidence of continuous four-year occupation was insufficiently precise and unambiguous to discharge the burden of proof on the balance of probabilities.
