Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the breach of planning control alleged in the enforcement notice has occurred as a matter of fact

What decided it

The Appellant's own evidence established that the previous use of the land was keeping of horses and the current use as a leisure plot constitutes a material change of use to a sui generis use not falling within any prescribed use class.
