Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether it would be lawful for the use of the building to change from a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) and a flat, to a single dwellinghouse

What decided it

A material change of use from a single dwellinghouse to two separate residential units occurred in 2012, the previous lawful use was lost, and planning permission is required to revert to a single dwellinghouse as no enforcement notice has been issued and the HMO use has not achieved immunity from enforcement action.

What the Inspector cited

Judgments: Fairstate Ltd v First Secretary of State & Westminster City Council [2005] EWCA Civ 283, [2005] JPL 1333
