Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the refusal of the application for a certificate of lawful use or development is well founded under section 195(2) and (3) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990

What decided it

The appellant's evidence was insufficiently precise and unambiguous to demonstrate continuous use as an HMO for ten years prior to the application, with significant gaps in records and no tenancy agreements provided to substantiate the required occupancy levels throughout the relevant period.
