Winfield v Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government: [2012] EWCA Civ 1415;   [2012] WLR (D)  311

“An applicant seeking deemed planning consent for ten years’ continual use of land for the display of advertisements would not satisfy the requisite conditions if, in the face of threatened enforcement action, he had removed and then reinstated advertisements. Such material breaks would negate continual use. Wooden posts or structures left on site on which the advertisements were placed did not constitute advertisements in themselves so as to satisfy the requisite time period for deemed consent.”
