Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawfulness for the use of the property as a large House in Multiple Occupation (large HMO) is well founded

What decided it

The appellant failed to discharge the burden of proof on the balance of probabilities that the property had been in continuous use as a large HMO for the required 10-year period, as the presence of the appellant's family during the early period meant the HMO definition was not satisfied.
