Why it was refused
- The applicant has failed to demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority and on the balance of probability, that the stationing of the mobile home has been used as a self-contained dwelling for a continuous period of more than ten years. Insufficient and inconclusive evidence has been provided to substantiate the claimed commencement date and continuity of residential occupation.
From the council's decision notice.
