GOOGLE Earth satellite images have been used as evidence for the refusal of an Innerleithen storage yard bid, reports The Border Telegraph.
The Border Telegraph writes:
…an application to convert the site into a storage yard rejected by Scottish Borders Council… appealed… on the grounds that the site had been used as a storage area by the previous occupiers…. That bid… now… rejected after Google Earth images from 2007, 2014 and 2022 showed no sign of storage on the land…
After reviewing the evidence… the balance of probability there was insufficient evidence of continuous use throughout the 10-year period required and the appeal failed.
