Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the alleged breach of planning control (erection of a residential dwelling and material change of use from agricultural to residential) is immune from enforcement action due to the passage of time under section 174(2)(d) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990

What decided it

The residential use of the land became immune from enforcement action because it commenced in March 2013 (more than 10 years before the enforcement notice was issued on 21 August 2023) when the caravan was first stationed for human habitation, and continued without material interruption thereafter.
