Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision was well-founded, turning on whether on the date of the application the use of the property as a 6 bed HMO would have been lawful
What decided it
There was no material change in circumstances between the two applications, and the additional wording in the Council's certificate was unnecessary since Class C4 HMO definition does not include a care element.
