Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the alleged change of use from single dwellinghouse to two dwellinghouses has occurred
  • Whether the change of use was immune from enforcement action by virtue of four years' continuous use

What decided it

The change of use to a separate dwellinghouse occurred on 17 May 2020, which is after the four-year immunity date of 25 January 2020, as evidenced by the major refurbishment, rent increase, and shift in tenant responsibilities at that time.
