Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the alleged breach of planning control (material change of use to six self-contained flats) has occurred as a matter of fact
  • Whether the use has acquired lawfulness through the passage of time (four years continuous use)
  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control

What decided it

The appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that the use as six self-contained flats had subsisted continuously for four years, and his own evidence was contradicted by a 2013 planning application.
