Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the land has been used as domestic curtilage/residential garden land for a continuous period of 10 years such that no enforcement action could have been taken by the date of application

What decided it

The cumulative photographic and documentary evidence from 2012 onwards demonstrating continuous use of the land as one unified residential garden, including removal of the dividing fence in 2012 and consistent maintenance and landscaping, satisfied the balance of probabilities that no enforcement action could have been taken by the application date.
