Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the conversion to 9 flats took place 4 or more years before the issue of the enforcement notice and the use as separate flats has been continuous for the same period
- Whether any of the flats are lawful by virtue of the passage of time
- Whether the enforcement notice should be varied to reflect any lawful residential use on the upper floors of the buildings
What decided it
The evidence did not establish that all nine flats had been continuously occupied as separate dwellings for four years prior to the enforcement notice, but the established lawful residential use on the upper floors of each building justified variation of the notice to permit one kitchen and bathroom in each building.
