Decision & conditions
Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- The application has demonstrated to the Council on the balance of probability that the application site was in continuous use as a six bedroom house of multiple occupation (Use Class C4) prior to the implementation of the Council's Article 4 Direction on 15th September 2023. As such the use is considered to be lawful under Section 191 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and therefore a Lawful Development Certificate can be issued.
