Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to achieve its purpose (ground f)
- Whether the time for compliance with the notice is too short (ground g)
What decided it
The appellants' current use is an unauthorised Sui Generis HMO rather than a Class C3 dwelling, so permitted development rights to convert to Class 4 do not apply, and the enforcement notice requirements are necessary to remedy the breach.
