Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether condition 4 is necessary having regard to the living conditions of the occupiers of the property with regard to internal living space
What decided it
The installation of kitchenettes in each bedroom would provide all three basic amenities (toilet, washing facilities, and cooking facilities) within each room, converting them from HMO units to self-contained flats, and the rooms are too small to function adequately as self-contained dwellings, creating an unsatisfactory living environment.

- Development plan policies
- Policy BE3Policy T6
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
