Planning appeal 3345052 at Quarry House, Coanwood, Haltwhistle, NE49 0QP (Northumberland County Council) was dismissed on 6 September 2024 by Inspector Hartley D, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant an LDC was well founded with particular regard as to whether the land shown with diagonal red lines on the 'Pre-development site plan and sections' drawing dated August 2023 has been used for a period in excess of ten years as a domestic garden.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant an LDC was well founded with particular regard as to whether the land shown with diagonal red lines on the 'Pre-development site plan and sections' drawing dated August 2023 has been used for a period in excess of ten years as a domestic garden
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide sufficiently precise and unambiguous evidence to demonstrate continuous use of the land as a domestic garden for ten years, with the available evidence suggesting horticultural rather than domestic garden use.
