Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appellant can show, on the balance of probabilities, that Driftwood has been in use as holiday and habitable accommodation for a continuous period of four years in breach of planning condition 5, and as such, the time for enforcement action has expired

What decided it

The appellant failed to establish on the balance of probabilities the precise date when the boathouse acquired all necessary facilities and the distinctive characteristics of a dwellinghouse, making it impossible to determine whether a four-year continuous breach had occurred within the relevant enforcement period.
