Existing shared house use at 54 Manners Road

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The applicant seeks a legal certificate confirming that the house is already used as a shared home. No building work is described. The council would assess whether the use has been lawful for the required time. The mid-terrace house has homes directly adjacent on both sides. Priory School is a couple of minutes' walk away, while Fratton rail station is a few minutes' walk away. This application is mainly about proof of past and current use. It does not itself propose a new shared house, but confirmation could allow the existing use to continue.

What you can do

You can comment to Portsmouth City Council using reference 26/00382/CPE. For this certificate, evidence about the property's actual use and how long it continued is most relevant. General objections to shared housing may carry little weight in this legal test.
