Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the Council's refusal of the LDC was well-founded

What decided it

The appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence of continuous use as a dwelling between 31 May 2021 and 22 April 2024, leaving open the possibility that a material change of use occurred which would have lost the earlier accrued immunity from enforcement action.
