Despite having granted a Certicate of Lawful Use for the above property to be used by up to 9 persons, the Council served an Enforcement Notice alleging increased use solely on the basis that showers had been installed in two further rooms despite admitting in writing that there was no more than 9 people resident.
Having been contacted by the owner for advice we considered the Council was in error and appointed Matt Gilks the planning solicitor at Thrings to contact the Council and advise them of the error of their ways.
The Council duly withdrew the Notice.
Planner: Keith Oliver
