Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the uses and building works described in developments b) and c) had taken place continuously for ten years preceding the date of application, or were substantially completed more than four years before the application date

What decided it

The hard-surfaced track was laid circa 2004 and remained in continuous use as access, with the 4-year enforcement period having expired before the application date, whereas the hardstanding and amenity uses were materially changed in 2016, bringing them within the 10-year enforcement period.
