Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the breach of planning control alleged in the enforcement notice (unauthorised use of the property as a large HMO in sui generis use) has occurred

What decided it

The Planning Contravention Notice response from the controlling shareholder clearly and unequivocally stated the property was occupied by seven people, and the appellant provided insufficient evidence to rebut this.
