Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the property has been lawfully used as two self-contained dwelling-houses for a continuous period of at least four years prior to the enforcement notice

What decided it

The planning contravention notice completed by the appellant in February 2018 identified the property as a single dwelling with no reference to two separate dwellings, contradicting the claim of subdivision since 2008.
