Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the breach of condition requiring the caravan park to open no earlier than 1st April or Maundy Thursday has subsisted for in excess of ten years, making it immune from enforcement action

What decided it

The appellant failed to provide sufficient precise and unambiguous evidence to demonstrate that the breach of condition had subsisted for in excess of ten years, as the documentary evidence was either dubious in provenance or inconclusive.
