Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether use of the property as a C4 HMO is appropriate in this location, including in relation to small to medium sized family housing

What decided it

The property's gross original internal floor space of 80m² does not meet the 120m² threshold in Policy DM17A(a) for a 'larger home' eligible for HMO conversion, and the loss of a small to medium sized family house conflicts with the Council's housing strategy in this area.
