How they reason — coded from their reports

Kinli handles CEU (existing-use lawful development certificate) applications and is forensic about tenancy-continuity evidence, cross-referencing dated tenancy-agreement periods room by room against the statutory 4- or 10-year continuous-use test, and is prepared to refuse where the evidence trail has gaps rather than accepting a general assertion of continuous use.

Observable habits

· lists dated tenancy-agreement periods room by room, checking for continuous coverage across the statutory 4- or 10-year period rather than accepting a summary claim

· concludes on the civil standard ('on the balance of probabilities') explicitly when assessing whether a use has genuinely operated continuously

· for HMO clustering assessment, specifically distinguishes an 'immediate vicinity' test from a wider street-length test where the road is long

What their reports consistently look for

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: dated tenancy-agreement evidence covering EVERY period within the statutory 4- or 10-year continuous-use window, room by room, not just a general assertion

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: whether the evidence, assessed on the balance of probabilities, actually supports a continuous lawful use claim

· what this officer's reports consistently look for: the immediate vicinity of a site (not the whole street) when the road is long, for HMO clustering assessment

In their own words

The Local Planning Authority, having regard to its own evidence and in assessing the evidence submitted by the applicant, considers that, on the balance of probabilities, 32A Friern Barnet Road, London, N11 1NA has not operated as a large House in Multiple Occupation HMO (Sui Generis Class) for a continuous period of 10 years

One other HMOs could be seen in the area, No. 42 Gordon Road. However, when considering the immediate vicinity given that the development belongs within a long stretch road none of the immediate neighbours have been converted
