Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether, at the time the LDC application was made, a period of four years had passed beginning with the date on which the operations (balustrade, decking and gate) were substantially completed
What decided it
The Council's street view photographs showing the balustrade only clearly visible from 2018 onwards, combined with the absence of the balustrade in the 2016 image, meant the appellant failed to prove on the balance of probability that the operations were substantially completed more than four years before the March 2022 application date.
