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

What decided it

The appellant's evidence was not sufficiently precise and unambiguous to demonstrate on the balance of probability that the use of the land as a caravan site in excess of the GPDO limitations had been continuous for the required 10-year period.
