Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The first issue is to determine exactly where the appeal site is.
  • Whether Mr Connors and others have lived on the appeal site for 10 years or more prior to the issue of the enforcement notice, for the purposes of ground (d).

What decided it

The appeal site, as now defined and occupied by caravans across its full extent, had not been in continuous residential caravan use for the requisite 10-year period, partly because a live 2003 enforcement notice rendered most such use unlawful throughout that period.
