Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice is a nullity or invalid
- Whether the material change of use of the premises to a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) and flats has occurred
What decided it
The evidence, particularly the statutory declaration from a person with good knowledge of the property, cumulatively demonstrated that the premises were in use as a House in Multiple Occupation rather than flats, making the enforcement notice's allegation of mixed use incorrect.
