[2025] UKUT 172 (LC)

This is an appeal from the decision of the First-tier Tribunal to vary an improvement notice served upon the appellant by the respondent local housing authority; the appellant says that in light of the FTT’s finding that the hazard at the property was considerably less serious than the respondent thought it was, and of the fact that the respondent could have served a hazard awareness notice instead, the FTT should have found that the respondent had been wrong to serve the improvement notice and the FTT should have quashed it.

The appeal has been decided under the Tribunal’s written representations procedure. The appellant has not been legally represented; the respondent has been represented by Ms Elizabeth Bowden of counsel.
