Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the Council's decision to refuse the LDC was well-founded
What decided it
The Council's Article 4 Direction removed the Class L permitted development right for C3 to C4 conversions, and the property's change to C3 use in 2018 meant any previously acquired lawfulness as an HMO was lost.
