Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the stock of family houses in the borough
- The living conditions of the existing occupiers, having regard to the standard of accommodation
- The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, having regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The large HMO use results in material harm to the stock of family housing in the borough and provides substandard accommodation with insufficient communal space, contrary to the development plan policies which prioritise family housing protection and quality.
