What decided it

The Inspector found that the matters alleged in the notice (a material change of use to a caravan site) had not occurred because the land's lawful use, under the extant and lawfully commenced 2023 planning permission, was already as a caravan site, so ground (b) succeeded and the notice was quashed.
