Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A ground (b): whether the breach of planning control alleged in the notice (erection of a building) has occurred
- Appeal A ground (a): whether the breach of planning control is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, the effect on openness of the Green Belt, and whether very special circumstances exist to justify the development
- Appeal A ground (g): whether the period for compliance of six months is reasonable
- Appeal B: whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development for B8 Storage and Distribution use was well-founded
What decided it
The building was erected on land that was not previously developed, making it inappropriate development in the Green Belt with no very special circumstances to justify it, and the appellant failed to prove continuous ten-year use of Area B for B8 Storage and Distribution.
