Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the material change of use of the building to a single dwellinghouse had been in existence for four or more years prior to the first enforcement notice and had continued without significant interruption (ground (d))
- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control (ground (f))
What decided it
The appellant failed to discharge the burden of proof that the building had been used as a single dwellinghouse continuously for four or more years prior to 30 May 2019, with evidence indicating the material change of use most likely commenced in Spring 2022 when the building was marketed for holiday accommodation.
