Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the authority's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, and whether the breach of the agricultural occupancy condition has continued for at least 10 years

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of probability that they had been solely or mainly employed in agriculture or forestry continuously for the required 10-year period, as the majority of their income derived from financial investments and the evidence regarding time spent on agricultural activities was insufficiently precise and unambiguous.
