Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the material change of use of the outbuilding to a self-contained residential unit took place on or before 19 June 2020 and continued for four years without break (ground d)
- Whether the period specified for compliance with the enforcement notice (three months) falls short of what should reasonably be allowed (ground g)
What decided it
The unoccupied period of approximately four and a half months between July and December 2020 broke the continuity of use as an independent dwelling, preventing the appellant from demonstrating four years of continuous use as required by section 171B(2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
