Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appellant has shown, on the balance of probabilities, that the material change of use to a use falling within Class C3(a) took place four or more years prior to the date of the application and continued after the date of change without significant interruption such that it would be too late for the Council to take enforcement action
What decided it
The evidence submitted was imprecise and ambiguous, failing to demonstrate continuous occupation for the required four-year immunity period, particularly lacking information on tenants, dates of occupation and any void periods.
