520			_aQBD 25 November 1987 Appeals against an SoS decision under Town and Country Planning Act 197l s 88 dismissing appeals against enforcement notices served by the borough. The alleged breach of planning control was the change of use from hotel to hostel for homeless families. The planning authority considered that a proliferation of such hostels would strain local resources. The appellant claimed that there had been no change of use and that the restriction in the class of guests accommodated was a derogation of permitted use. The authority argued that properties predominantly accommodating homeless families could not be called hotels. They were hostels and "hostel" described a sui generis use, catering for a limited group of people such as students, nurses etc. The planning inspector decided on various grounds that the properties were being used as hostels and the notices were served. QBD dismissed appeal.
