Roe's HMO reports state the full occupancy arithmetic explicitly — the maximum theoretical occupancy the ROOM SIZES could support versus the LOWER number actually proposed — and note that a planning condition plus the HMO licensing regime together enforce the lower cap, treating licensing as a second, independent control layer rather than relying on planning conditions alone. She is precise about bedroom-by-bedroom compliance tables (size, occupancy level, requirement) for HMO and flat-conversion schemes.
· states the maximum theoretical occupancy the room sizes could technically support, explicitly distinct from the lower number actually proposed, and notes both a planning condition AND the separate HMO licensing regime as independent controls capping it
· produces a room-by-room compliance table (size, level of occupancy, space-standard requirement) for HMO and flat-conversion schemes rather than a single aggregate space-standards statement
· flags where a proposal is technically retrospective (regularising an unlawfully-converted use already subject to an enforcement notice) as a distinct factual backdrop before assessing the merits
· what this officer's reports consistently look for: the maximum occupancy the room sizes could technically support, stated separately from the lower number actually proposed and secured by condition
· what this officer's reports consistently look for: a room-by-room table of proposed size, occupancy level and the applicable space-standard requirement for every bedroom in an HMO or flat conversion
· what this officer's reports consistently look for: whether a scheme is retrospective and already the subject of an enforcement notice, stated explicitly as the factual backdrop
“the potential occupancy of the development is 8 persons as all rooms could fit a double bed. However, the description of development sets out that the proposals are for a small HMO, which would accommodate up to 4 persons. An informative has been attached that the proposed HMO is for only 4 occupants and the HMO licence would serve to reinforce this restriction by setting a maximum occupancy level”
