What decided it

The appellant failed to establish on the balance of probability that the outbuilding had been continuously used as a single dwelling for the requisite four-year period, particularly due to a significant vacancy from November 2020 to January 2021 and insufficient evidence of actual continuous occupation beyond tenancy agreements.
