Lena Summers, Planning Officer, South Team, introduced the report and set out the key issues. In introducing the report members were advised that the application proposed the conversion of a single dwelling house into two self contained flats, 1x 1 bed flat and 1x 3 bed flat.

These points had been addressed by officers in the Committee Report consultation section. In addition to this a further condition would be discussed with the Committee with regard to the dwelling not being used as an HMO.

· Due to concerns that the applicant was not being transparent with his intentions for the adaptations to the property, Mr Modeste was concerned that the property could become an HMO.
