- Sufficient evidence has been submitted to demonstrate on the ‘balance of probability’ the upper floors of 50 Seven Sisters Road have been continuously occupied as two self-contained flats (Use Class C3) in excess of 4 years and are therefore immune from planning enforcement action as set out in s171b of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended).
