Existing shared house use at 3C Hampshire Terrace

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The applicant seeks a certificate confirming that 3C Hampshire Terrace is already lawfully used as a shared house. No building work is described in the application. The property is in The Terraces, a protected historic area. University of Portsmouth buildings are directly adjacent, while three protected old buildings are about a 1-minute walk away. Five properties lie a few steps to the south-west. The council would mainly check evidence about how long the shared-house use has continued, rather than decide whether a new use should start.

What you can do

You can comment to Portsmouth City Council using reference 26/00364/CPE. Focus on dated evidence about the property's existing use, because this application asks whether that use is already lawful.
