Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the rear dormer on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area
- Whether the HMO use is acceptable, having regard to the effect on the supply of smaller family dwelling houses
What decided it
The development resulted in the unacceptable loss of a small family dwelling house for which there is identified housing need in the Borough, contrary to Policy DM17, and caused harm to character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions, with no material considerations outweighing these harms.
The harms to character and appearance, loss of small family housing, and adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions were not outweighed by the appellant's arguments regarding accommodation standards, lack of neighbour objections, or need for affordable smaller properties.
