Full Proposal

Existing dwelling being used as 3 Bedroom house of multiple occupation (HMO) for more than 20 years. This property, along with several others in the area, was previously owned by the University of Nottingham and has been used as a 3-bedroom student accommodation since the early 2000s. The University has since sold these properties to private landlords. We have checked records with Nottingham City Council?s Council Tax Department, who confirmed that the property has been continuously occupied by students from 2005 up to the date of sale. Given that the property has been in continuous use as student accommodation for over 20 years, we believe that its continued use as a 3-bedroom student let is lawful. We are therefore applying for a Certificate of Lawful Existing Use. We requested copies of historical council tax records (from 2005 onwards) from the Council Tax Department. Although they hold these records, they are unable to release them to the landlord due to data protection restrictions. However, they have confirmed that they can provide this information directly to the Planning Department upon request. We therefore respectfully ask the Planning Officer to obtain this information from the Council Tax Department to assist with this application. Additionally, the current landlord has instructed his solicitor to request historic tenancy agreements (covering at least the last four years) from the University of Nottingham. Should the University be able to release these documents without breaching data protection regulations, we will forward them to you as soon as they are received.
