The appellants appealed a refusal of an inspector to set aside an enforcement notice with regard to the alteration of use of an outbuilding to a residence. He asserted that no enforcement action having been taken for four years, the enforcement could not proceed. There had been use over a longer period, but there had been a break. In fact, the Inspector had, too gently, expressed his disbelief of the appellant’s evidence. There was no use for the period asserted and the appeal failed.
