Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the Council's decision to refuse the certificate was well-founded

What decided it

The unappealed enforcement notice describing a storage use contradicted the appellant's description of the use in the certificate application, and the appellant's supporting evidence was insufficiently precise and unambiguous to demonstrate the described use had been established and maintained for the requisite 10-year period.
