Search the Public Notice PortalA property in Lancaster that has been operating as a seven-bedroom house in multiple occupation (HMO) for the past two decades is seeking formal recognition from planners.
An application has been submitted to Lancaster City Council for a lawful development certificate covering an existing use at 31 Regent Street, Lancaster.
The property is said to have operated continuously as a seven-bed HMO since September 25, 2006.
The application, submitted on behalf of applicant C Elderton of Yellow Door Lets, states that the property falls within the sui generis use class as a seven-bedroom HMO.
Planning documents claim the use began on September 25, 2006, and has continued without interruption since then.
The application says there has been no material change in the property's use during that period.
The applicant is seeking a lawful development certificate rather than planning permission.
