Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's refusal of a certificate of lawful use or development was well founded, specifically whether the appellant proved on the balance of probability that the use of any part of the appeal building changed to use as a self-contained flat on or before 1 September 2018 and that the use continued for at least 4 years without substantial interruption
What decided it
The appellant's evidence, comprising statutory declaration, utility bills, gas safety records, electrical installation report, insurance company correspondence, and property inventories, was sufficiently precise and unambiguous to demonstrate on the balance of probability that the building had been used as two self-contained flats continuously for at least 4 years prior to the application date.
