A colleague of mine applied for planning permission to build a 'granny
annexe'. At that point, the planners said 'wait a minute ... there
should be a field here, not a garden ..' and he was told to reinstate
the field and the original boundary. He felt especially peeved as it had
been the previous owner who'd made the change!

Established use may be used as an argument where the use has been
continuous and objections not notified by the local planners within a
period of 4 years. IANAL
