Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the development would have been lawful as at the date of the LDC application

What decided it

The park home object lacks the degree of physical attachment and permanence required to constitute a building under planning law, and therefore the appellant failed to discharge the burden of proof that immunity from enforcement action had been achieved.
