Inspector: Savage M
Postcode: NW2 7NG

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the material change of use of the premises to a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) and flats has occurred as a matter of fact
Whether the erection of a single storey rear extension and dormer roof extension, and the erection of a dwelling in the rear garden, constitute breaches of planning control
Whether the steps required by the enforcement notices exceed what is necessary to remedy the breaches of planning control

What decided it

The evidence demonstrated that the premises had been subdivided into self-contained units and used as flats and an HMO, the rear extension and dormer were constructed to facilitate this unauthorised use, and Step 3 of the notice was internally inconsistent with Step 6 requiring restoration to original layout.
