Property is a licensable HMO due to number of storeys and occupants. The
authority are satisfied that:
•the house licensed is reasonably suitable for occupation by not more than the maximum number of households or persons mentioned in the licence or can be made suitable
•the licence holder is a fit and proper person and is the most appropriate person to be the licence holder
•that the proposed manager of the house is a fit and proper person and is either the person having control of the house or a person who is an agent or employee of that person
•the proposed management arrangements for the house are otherwise satisfactory.
In making the decision, the authority has referred to the Housing Act 2004,
associated regulations and Herefordshire Council’s published HMO amenity guide and enforcement policy.
