Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the material change of use of the property to sui generis mixed-use comprising six self-contained flats, two additional separate kitchens and one bedroom has occurred as a matter of fact

What decided it

The rooms lacked conventional cookers and ovens and were too small to provide the facilities required for day-to-day private domestic existence, and the presence of shared communal kitchens with evidence of use demonstrated that occupiers shared basic amenities, making the property an HMO rather than self-contained flats.
