Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the land has been in continuous residential use for at least 10 years prior to the enforcement notice being issued, such that enforcement action is time-barred under section 171B(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive or go beyond what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
What decided it
The aerial images from 2016-2018 showing the land as grassland similar to adjoining pasture with no substantive evidence of residential use, which cast doubt on the previous owner's recollection and demonstrated the land had not been in continuous residential use for the required 10-year period.
