Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the material change of use of the land from agricultural to residential use, as alleged in the enforcement notice, has in fact occurred
What decided it
The plots had no living accommodation, no one resided on them, and they functioned as outdoor amenity spaces ancillary to leisure moorings (not residential moorings) on the canal, therefore the alleged material change of use to residential use had not in fact occurred.
