Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the breach of planning control comprises a breach of condition or a material change of use of the appeal property
- If a breach of condition, whether this breach has been continuous for a period of 10 years or more beginning with the date of the breach
- If a material change of use, whether the use of the appeal property as four flats has continued substantially uninterrupted for a period of four years or more beginning with the date of the breach
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide sufficiently precise and unambiguous evidence on the balance of probability that the use as four self-contained flats has continued substantially uninterrupted for four years or more from the date of the breach.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
