Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the use of the property as short-term letting accommodation for more than 90 nights per calendar year constitutes a breach of planning control under section 25A of the Greater London Council (General Powers) Act 1973

What decided it

The statutory methodology for calculating the 90-night limit refers specifically to calendar years, not arbitrary 12-month periods, and the evidence did not support the Council's assumption that short-term letting continued after November 2023.
