lodger agreement or assured shorthold tenancy form?

I would appreciate clarification of the use of the Lodger agreement form (available at WH Smiths etc) and the standard assured shorthold tenancy agreement.
I am setting up a flatshare where I as the owner /landlord will live in the property some of the time. Is this, as I suspect, a case for treating it as a lodger agreement? Is it related to how much time I spend at the property / or how much of the property I have access to?
Legal clarification would be much appreciated - thank you,
Mark

Lodger.
A lodger shares with you some of the house. Usually kitchen/living room, possibly bathroom.
A tenant has their own place, behind a locked door, where they are independent. Usually in a separate flat/house entirely, but could be in an annexe with its own door, or a flat on, say your top floor or in the basement or similar.
As you are living at the property, they are your lodger.0
