Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
This Certificate is issued solely for the purpose of Section 191 of
the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended).
2
It certifies that the use/ operations/ matter specified in the First
Schedule taking place on the land described in the Second
Schedule would have been lawful on the specified date and, thus
was not liable to enforcement action under Section 172 of the 1990
Act on that date.
3
This Certificate applies only to the extent of the use/ operations/
matter described in the First Schedule and to the land specified in
the Second Schedule. Any use/ operations/ matter which is
materially different from that described or which relates to other
land may render the owner or occupier liable to enforcement
action.
4
The effect of the certificate is also qualified by the proviso in
Section 192(4) of the 1990 Act (as amended) which states that the
lawfulness of a described use or operation is only conclusively
presumed where there has been no material change, before the
use is instituted or the operations begun, in any of the matters
relevant to determine such lawfulness.
