Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse a certificate of lawful use or development is well-founded
What decided it
The planning unit is the whole property operating as a mixed use (shisha bar/restaurant with HMO on upper floors), not separate uses, and the previous Inspector's findings of HMO use with continuous licensing records since 1994 were not displaced by the appellant's evidence.
