Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • When, if at all, the use of the land materially changed from an equestrian use to a mixed use including the siting of static caravans, tourers and tents for residential purposes

What decided it

The evidence, including witness statements and aerial images, established that the Statics Area and Area of Static No 5 had been in continuous use as caravan sites for more than ten years before the enforcement notice was issued, placing them outside the ten-year enforcement period under section 171B(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
