Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, and whether the appellant has shown on the balance of probabilities that the development was begun in accordance with the planning permission and its conditions

What decided it

The appellant's photographic evidence did not clearly establish the position of the trench in relation to the approved plans, and the inconsistencies between images and lack of detail on site clearance works meant the appellant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that a material operation had been carried out in accordance with the planning permission.
