Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's refusal to issue a certificate of lawful use or development is well founded, turning on whether the appellant can show that the proposed use would not constitute development as defined by section 55(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
What decided it
The proposed additional 41 static caravans would not cause a material change in the definable character of the existing lawful use through intensification, as the visual density, layout, and character of the caravan park would remain substantially unchanged.
