As I posted earlier:
OP, probably as many appeals to the adjudicator are won on procedural grounds arising from a Notice of Rejection of formal representations as are won on more standard issues e.g. contravention did not occur, inadequate signage etc.
And yours is a case in point.
Dreadful performance by council officers who can't submit proper evidence, and good support from cp.
But don't rely on the former, sometimes they get it right
