Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed increase in the number of HMO residents from five to six, achieved by converting two basement storerooms to an additional en-suite bedroom, constitutes development requiring planning permission or is excluded from the definition of development
What decided it
The planning permission 20/00803/FU contained no restriction limiting HMO occupation to five residents, and the Use Classes Order exempts HMO use by not more than six residents from requiring planning permission, so the increase to six residents does not constitute development requiring planning permission.
