Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is suitably located for a house of multiple occupation (HMO)
- Whether the development provides satisfactory living conditions for occupants, with regard to space, outlook and light
- The effect of the development on the character of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise, disturbance and the fear of crime
- Whether the development provides suitable arrangements for cycle and car parking
What decided it
The development fails to provide satisfactory living conditions for occupants due to lack of light and outlook in communal spaces, is located outside a designated centre contrary to Policy LP6, and would generate unacceptable parking demand that cannot be mitigated.
Plan policies cited: Policy LP6, Policy LP22, Policy LP23, Policy LP24, Policy LP26, Policy T5, Policy T6, Policy T6.1
