Our client wished to regularise the existing residential use of this building, the previously approved used being as a children’s day nursery with ancillary residential accommodation above. We were able to submit evidence to demonstrate that the site has been in use continuously as a self contained residential dwelling (Use Class C3) since at least 8 February 2012. The evidence comprised layout drawings, receipts, insurance policies, AST agreements, and statutory declarations which cumulatively demonstrated the ground floor unit to be a self-contained residential unit for the duration claimed.
