Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the subdivision of the property to self-contained units of accommodation began more than four years before the date of issue of the enforcement notice and continued without material interruption for a period of four years thereafter, so as to be immune from enforcement action pursuant to section 171B(2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
What decided it
The appellant provided sufficient documentary evidence in the form of tenancy agreements and rent receipts demonstrating continuous use of the property as four self-contained units from before 12 May 2018 through to April 2022, which the Council did not contradict, establishing immunity from enforcement under section 171B(2) of the 1990 Act.
