Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the use of the land as a recreational Camping and Caravan Club site was lawful at the time of the application
What decided it
The use was permitted by the General Permitted Development Order 2015 with appropriate certificates in place, and regulation 75 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 was not engaged in 2018 because the site was not considered likely to have a significant effect on a protected European site at that time.
