Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the LPA's decision to refuse the LDC application was well-founded

What decided it

The appellant's evidence was not sufficiently precise and unambiguous to demonstrate, on the balance of probabilities, that the use of the appeal site as residential garden took place on or before 5 March 2014 and continued for 10 years thereafter without interruption.
