Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development is well-founded

The evidence failed to demonstrate that the proposed alterations would meet the statutory definition of a caravan or that it would be used ancillary to the lawful agricultural use of the land, as the residential layout indicated a material change of use to residential.
