Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of adjoining residential property, having regard to noise and disturbance
- Whether suitable living conditions would be provided for the existing and future occupiers of the properties, having regard to internal floorspace, outlook, noise and disturbance and provision of outdoor amenity space
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on highway safety
What decided it
Appeal C succeeded because the proposal for use as large HMOs only (rather than mixed use) with reduced occupancy, reconfigured interiors meeting space standards, improved outlook, and removal of harmful single storey extensions would accord with the Development Plan and cause no unacceptable harm to adjoining occupiers, future occupiers, or character and appearance.
