Decision & conditions
Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- The application has failed to demonstrate, on the balance of probability, that the application site was in continuous use as a House in Multiple Occupation prior to the implementation of the Council’s Article 4 Direction on 15th September 2023. Consequently, the Local Planning Authority is not satisfied that the use is lawful under Section 191 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended).
