Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged breach of planning control (material change of use of the outbuilding as an independent self-contained residential dwellinghouse) has occurred
- Whether it is too late to take enforcement action due to the passage of time
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide sufficiently precise and unambiguous evidence, including contemporaneous documentary records, to establish that the outbuilding afforded viable facilities for day-to-day living and was continuously occupied as an independent self-contained dwellinghouse on or before the relevant date of 1 May 2020.
