Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed conversion of the property to a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) would be acceptable having regard to whether it is a policy compliant size for conversion and whether it would result in the unacceptable loss of family housing
What decided it
The property's gross internal floor space met or marginally satisfied Policy DM17's 120sqm threshold for HMO conversions, and the size, number of bedrooms and layout indicated it fell within the larger homes category, making the conversion policy compliant and the loss of family housing not a substantive matter against the proposal.
