Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the existing use of the twin unit cabin as residential is lawful and immune from enforcement action under section 191 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990

What decided it

The evidence demonstrated the cabin was used as a separate main residential dwelling rather than ancillary accommodation, and an extant enforcement notice issued on 13 July 2022 prevented the grant of a lawful use certificate under section 191(2)(b) of the 1990 Act.
