Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether No.17A is functionally separate from No. 17

What decided it

The Statutory Declarations established that from 2007 onwards No.17A was occupied as a physically and functionally separate dwelling for more than ten years, rendering it immune from enforcement action and therefore lawful.
