What I find strange about Google, is that there's a lot of illegal advertising on Google maps - things like accomodation and liquor sellers that don't have permits.

However, if they do it for the statutory term, they can then successfully apply for existing-use rights.

Yet I've seen expert witnesses bring up Google pins on Maps during tribunal over planning permits and the tribunal sort of acts as if it's all legit.

I've even seen the tribunals report publish screenshots from Google maps as part of their judgement.

Reality is just tug of war and weight is all that matters at the limit

Is it treated differently from other kinds of advertising? A lot of planning and permitting has a bit of a 'if it's known about and no-one's been complaining it's OK' kind of principle to it.
