Why it was refused

  1. It is considered that insufficient evidence has been provided to demonstrate that, on the balance of probabilities, the land has been used for storage purposes for a continuous period of 10 years. Therefore, on the balance of probability a Certificate of Lawfulness cannot be granted. Address: Council Offices, Urban Road, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Nottingham. NG17 8DA If reasonable adjustments are needed to fully engage with the Authority - contact 01623 450000 Use of the land for storage purposes.
