Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded
What decided it
The appellant's evidence was not sufficiently precise and unambiguous to justify the grant of a certificate on the balance of probabilities, and was contradicted by credible third-party evidence of agricultural use for commercial purposes.
