  The property has been continuously occupied as a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) by 3 to 6 unrelated individuals who share basic communal amenities, falling within Planning Use Class C4. This C4 use was fully established prior to the implementation of the Durham City Article 4 Direction on 16 September 2016 and has been continuously maintained without interruption down to the present day. A Certificate of Lawfulness is therefore sought to confirm that the existing Class C4 use is lawful
