Why it was refused

  1. The development does not constitute lawful development under Section 191 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as the evidence fails to demonstrate, on the balance of probabilities, that the use of the property falls within Use Class C4. The physical layout and level of facilities provided indicate that at least two of the units operate as self-contained residential accommodation rather than as part of a single House in Multiple Occupation. The use claimed is therefore not lawful and cannot be certified. This determination is based on your submitted plans. All measurements are taken from existing ground level.

From the council's decision notice.
