Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's refusal to issue the certificate of lawfulness was well founded, turning on whether the appellant can show on the balance of probability that the change of use to a 12 bedroom HMO occurred prior to 1 February 2011 and continued for a period in excess of ten years

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of probability that the change of use to a 12 bedroom HMO occurred prior to 1 February 2011 and continued continuously for the required ten year period, as the evidence was ambiguous and did not clearly establish continuous use throughout the material period.
