From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The Hearing. … All parties attended remotely. … The Applicants say that they had established with the Local Council that there had not been an HMO licence in place for the Property prior to July 2022. That although a licence had been granted in July 2022 planning permission was required for the use of the Property as an HMO in order to ‘validate’ the licence. That the HMO licence was subject to planning approval being granted. The effect was that the Property did not enjoy the benefit of an HMO licence because planning permission for the use of the Property as an HMO was not in place. … He also referred the Tribunal to an extract from the planning portal for the Property that he had downloaded [114] which indicated that no such application had been made. … The Applicants say that in October 2023 following an inspection of the Property the Local Council sent to the Respondent a list of works that it required to be made to the property. … Due to the scope of work required, your landlord has decided not to proceed with the HMO licence and to let the property to a family instead, which means there would be no structural changes required’. The letter went on to indicate that the Respondent intended to give the Applicants 2 months’ notice to vacate the Property. …
