Why it was refused
- The applicant has failed to demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority and on the balance of probabilities, that the land edged red on the submitted plan has been used as residential curtilage for a continuous period of at least ten years. Insufficient and inconclusive evidence has been provided to substantiate the claimed residential use of the land throughout the relevant period. Consequently, it has not been established that the use is lawful or immune from planning enforcement action by virtue of the passage of time.
From the council's decision notice.
