Selective licensing: Minimum bedroom size?

Hi, I rent out a 1 bed flat in Southend on Sea, the council have just introduced selective licensing. I have just had a compliance visit, the result being that the housing officer has said the bedroom is too small for someone to sleep in!
The room is 7.8m2, she says the housing act 2004 states that it has to be 9m2 for one person or 10m2 for 2 people.
The only information I can find relates to HMO’s and that is 6.5m2.
Does anyone know where I can find this information?
Thanks
Ben
