Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the Council's decision to refuse the certificate of lawful use was well founded

What decided it

The absence of documentary evidence and supporting corroboration for the period 30 June 2013 to 1 July 2015 meant the appellant failed to discharge the burden of proof on the balance of probabilities that the property had been continuously used as a C4 HMO for the required 10-year period.
