It was not until July 23, 1992 that the council served another enforcement notice relating, this time relating to the mobile home. The breach alleged was “the stationing of a mobile home”.

He knew perfectly well what the mobile home was being used for and what the local authority was complaining about, and he would not have taken the enforcement officers over to show them that it was in fact his daughter who was using the mobile home as a place of human habitation if he did not know that this was the breach of planning control about which they were concerned, and not the mere stationing of the mobile home on the land. He also knew that the Inspector was considering amending the notice. In my judgment the Inspector’s judgment…
