Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the appeal proposal on the sustainability of the community with particular regard to the balance of the mix of housing and also that of local services
- the effect of the appeal proposal on living conditions of local residents, with particular regard to noise, disturbance, anti-social behaviour and crime
- the effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with Policy H6 of the Core Strategy by contributing to the loss of family housing in an area of high HMO concentration, with no identified need for additional HMOs and demonstrable harm to community sustainability, living conditions and character.
The harm to the balance of housing mix, living conditions of neighbours and character and appearance of the area, all contrary to the development plan, was not outweighed by the appellant's personal circumstances or equality considerations.
