Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the use of the site for two independent dwellings as mobile homes has been in continuous use for the requisite period to establish lawfulness under section 191 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990

What decided it

The extensions to the larger mobile home, added approximately 2 years before the application, transformed it into a permanent building and created a fresh breach of planning control, preventing the establishment of a 10-year continuous use.
