Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the material change of use to C4 HMO occurred between 1 October 2010 and 29 May 2016 and was therefore granted planning permission by the GPDO (ground c)
- Whether the material change of use to C4 HMO commenced before 1 October 2010 and continued for at least ten years without significant interruption, such that enforcement action was time-barred (ground d)
What decided it
The appellants failed to provide sufficient evidence on the balance of probabilities to establish either that the C4 HMO use commenced within the permitted development window (1 October 2010 to 29 May 2016) or that it commenced before 1 October 2010 and continued uninterrupted for at least ten years.
