Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged breach of planning control comprising the material change of use of the premises to a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) and flats had occurred
What decided it
The absence of conventional cooking facilities in the individual units at the time the notice was issued meant the units could not provide the facilities required for day-to-day private domestic existence and thus were not self-contained flats.
