Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether sufficient information has been supplied to demonstrate whether suitable living conditions would be provided to future occupiers, with particular reference to internal space

What decided it

The absence of accurate internal layout drawings meant the Inspector could not verify that the proposed HMO would meet the relevant standards for internal space and living conditions required by local and national guidance.
