Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the LPA's decision to refuse the application for an LDC was well-founded

What decided it

The proposed HMO use would contravene the requirements of the enforcement notice then in force because the inclusion of en-suites in bedrooms 3, 4 and 5 breached the notice's requirement to remove all WC and shower units except those specified.
