Why it was refused
- The use described in the First Schedule was not lawful on the date of the application in that the evidence submitted to the Council has failed to demonstrate on the balance of probability that the land edged red on the plan attached to this decision has had a continuous use for B2 (General Industrial) use for 10 years or more prior 4th November 2025. The Council also has evidence to refute the use described in the First Schedule. First Schedule: Certificate of lawfulness of existing use, for the continuous use of this site for B2 (general industrial) use for 10 years or more.
From the council's decision notice.
