Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- When did the subdivision into three separate dwellings take place
- Has occupation of the three dwellings been continuous
- Did the holiday lets use intervene to begin the clock again
What decided it
The use as three separate dwellings became immune from enforcement action by 2014 when it had been in continuous occupation for more than four years, and the subsequent holiday letting use did not constitute a material change of use that would restart the enforcement clock.
