Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the alleged material change of use from agricultural use to a private residential caravan site, including the siting of two static caravans for permanent residential occupation, the storage of caravans, vehicles, and trailers has occurred

What decided it

The appellant demonstrated on the balance of probabilities that the material change of use alleged in the enforcement notice—from agricultural use to a private residential caravan site including the siting of two static caravans for permanent residential occupation—had not occurred, as the two caravans in question were used for purposes incidental to the primary residential use of the dwellinghouse.
