Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the material change of use from agricultural to commercial storage, processing and distribution occurred more than 10 years before the enforcement notice was issued and continued without material interruption
- Whether the operational development (hardstandings, lagoons and water tanks) was substantially completed more than 4 years before the enforcement notice was issued
What decided it
The appellant demonstrated on the balance of probabilities that the material change of use occurred before 26 May 2013 and the operational development was substantially completed before 26 May 2019, placing both beyond the enforcement time limits.
