Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development is well-founded

What decided it

The appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence demonstrating continuous use as a 7-bedroom HMO for the full 10-year period required by section 171B(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, with a critical 4-year gap in documentation between 2010 and 2014 and subsequent evidence covering only approximately 9 years.
