Application Details
Description

The property is a 6-bedroom, 6-person House in Multiple Occupation (Use Class C4). This use is lawful under permitted development rights, as evidenced by the Building Regulations application submitted on 15/05/2017 and signed off on 10/08/2017?both dates being prior to the implementation of Wolverhampton City Council?s Article 4 Direction.The Building Regulations notice clearly specified that the works related to the conversion of the property into a House in Multiple Occupation. Since completion, the property has been in continuous use as a HMO without interruption, albeit without a formal use class designation on record.We therefore submit that the change of use is lawful, as it was implemented and documented prior to the commencement of the Article 4 Direction, with clear evidence held by the council through the approved Building Regulations application and its completion certificate.
