"It is for the applicant to provide sufficient evidence that it has been used as a 10-person HMO for 10 years," they said.
"The evidence supplied by the applicant is sufficient to support the permanent use within a period May 9, 2012, to May 9, 2022."
They said it had been classed as such by the council's revenues and benefits department since 2006 and there was no evidence to contradict so 'on the balance of probability' they recommended the certificate is granted.
