Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the land outlined in red in the application is in a lawful incidental domestic use/residential garden land use and whether the lawful use of the stone outbuilding is incidental domestic use

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that the claimed incidental residential use of the land and outbuilding began on or before the relevant date of 8 June 2013 and continued for 10 years without significant interruption, due to insufficient and imprecise evidence.
