Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue is whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a LDC was well-founded. That falls on whether the appellant has proved on the balance of probability that the use of the land changed to domestic garden for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse known as Croftfield on or before 20 August 2014 and that the use then continued for 10 years after the date of the change.
What decided it
The Council conceded, in light of the evidence presented, that the appellant had proved on the balance of probabilities that the land had been used as domestic garden land incidental to the dwellinghouse for a continuous 10-year period.
