Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The adequacy of the available communal internal amenity space to serve the 7-bed HMO

What decided it

Despite falling short of the quantitative standard for communal amenity space, the Inspector's site inspection satisfied them that the basement lounge could adequately accommodate seven residents and thus meet the overarching policy requirement not to harm occupiers' living conditions.
