Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the use as two self-contained flats had been in existence for four years or more before the enforcement notice was issued, such that enforcement action could not be taken
  • Whether the compliance period of six months specified in the notice is reasonable

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of probability that the property had been continuously occupied as two self-contained flats for any four-year period before the enforcement notice was issued.

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
