Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A Ground (d): Whether at the time the enforcement notice was issued it was too late to take enforcement action
- Appeal A Ground (f): Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive to remedy the breach of planning control
- Appeal A Ground (g): Whether the two months given to cease the use is too short
- Appeal B: Whether the use of land for builders yard, open and covered storage is lawful under section 191(1)(a) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
What decided it
The appellant's own acceptance that the use diversified and intensified from late 2018/early 2019, commencing well after the 10-year immunity threshold, and that the subsequent mixed use supplanted any earlier lawful use.
