Decision NoticePlanning conditions
- Having considered the submitted information, on the balance of probability, the evidence confirms that the existing use of the dwelling house at 7 Church Walk as a small HMO, this change of use is permitted development and does not therefore require planning permission. In accordance with Section 191 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) the Local Planning Authority should issue a Certificate of Lawfulness of Existing Development, for the use of 7 Church Walk as a small HMO. The existing use is lawful.
