Thank you for your request for information above. The appropriate
department are dealing with your request, however in order to progress
with it they ask that you clarify these points:

-Are you asking for the number of exempt HMO dwellings, or the total
number of exempt dwellings for all occupied and unoccupied dwelling
dwellings irrespective of whether an HMO dwelling or not?

Please be aware that we cannot progress with the request until you
respond, and that the 20 working day time frame we work within will not
include the period awaiting your response to this clarification message.
This request will be considered closed, if after 2 months we have not
