Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a Lawful Development Certificate was well founded

What decided it

The vehicle access had been in situ for more than 4 years prior to the application date, and no enforcement action could be taken because the time for enforcement had expired, making the building and engineering operations lawful under section 191(2) of the 1990 Act.
