Planning application
38 Fox Lane Winchester Hampshire SO22 4DY
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
The building has been in continuous use as a small HMO since at least July 2014, prior to the introduction of the Winchester City Council Article 4 Direction (effective 02 May 2016), and continues to operate as such with no material interruption or reversion to single-family (Use Class C3) use. HMOs which existed and were ?up and running? before it comes into effect will not require planning permission. The certificate is sought to confirm the lawful existing use of the property as a small House in Multiple Occupation (Use Class C4) under Section 191 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
