Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant an LDC was well founded with regard to whether the evidence demonstrates, on the balance of probability, that on the date of the LDC application, and owing to the passage of time, the dwellinghouse positioned and constructed on the appeal land deviated sufficiently from the 1991 Permission to the extent that it and its associated land was lawfully a C3 dwellinghouse (including a lawful access from the A63 Trunk Road and a C3 dwellinghouse curtilage) and unencumbered from the restrictions imposed by the conditions imposed in the 1991 Permission

What decided it

The dwellinghouse and associated land had been in continuous use for more than ten years, making the development immune from enforcement action under section 171(B) of the Act, notwithstanding the material deviation from the approved plans.
