Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, specifically whether commencement of the permitted development occurred within the statutory time limit and whether the development was erected in the position shown on the approved plans

What decided it

The appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that commencement of the permitted development occurred within the statutory three-year time limit, as the statements lacked proper statutory declaration formalities and were unsupported by corroborating documentary evidence.
