I’m enquiring, but don’t believe so.
Having read all of the HMRC docs relating to this, it seems having separate council tax isn’t given much weight.
The more I read, the more I feel this property ticks all of the boxes required. The thing that makes me hesitant is I’m not sure what the financial penalties would be if HMRC decide we are wrong at some point. I’m happy to just leave that money in a savings account in case they come knocking, but not if they’re gonna also charge 100’s in interest too. And I want to know how long until they have to make a decision. More reading to do.

Unlock the door and change the occupancy?

I think you'd prob just be subject to interest at HMRC statutory rate for late payment - 2.75% above base I think, accruing daily (but not compounding).
You could maybe try and seek clearance through the HMRC non-statutory clearance service if you were unsure?
