Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the existing use described in application documents was lawful as at the date of the LDC application
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide sufficiently precise and detailed evidence to demonstrate that the HMO use had been continuous and lawful for the required immunity period, and could not rely on the 4-year immunity period as it applies only to changes of use to a single dwellinghouse, not HMOs.
