Why it was refused

  1. Based on the balance of probability, it is considered that insufficient information has been provided to show, that the application site had been used as a House of Multiple Occupation prior to the immediate Article 4 Direction on 14 November 2025. As such, this application is refused under Section 191(2)(a) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

From the council's decision notice.
