Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision was well founded
What decided it
The documentary evidence only extends to 2014, falling well short of the ten-year requirement, and the use was too intermittent and limited in frequency to constitute a substantially uninterrupted material change of use.
