Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the LPA's decision to refuse the application for an LDC was well-founded

What decided it

The evidence from aerial photographs and site inspection demonstrated that storage of steel framework on part of the land had continued unchanged for over 10 years from October 2014, making the use lawful either because it did not constitute development or because the enforcement time limit had expired.
