Rogue landlords who refused to stop using east London property as HMO fined 18,000
Briefly

Colin and Susan Woodard ignored multiple warnings to cease using their Dagenham property as a House in Multiple Occupation, leading to an £18,000 fine.
Despite a granted HMO licence, the Woodards defied a planning enforcement notice demanding cessation of HMO usage, resulting in costly legal action taken by Barking and Dagenham.
Councillor Syed Ghani emphasized that the actions against the Woodards highlight the council's commitment to enforcing planning regulations which must be strictly followed.
The case against the Woodards serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to planning regulations, which exist to ensure community standards and safety.
