- The effect of the loss of a family-sized dwellinghouse on the creation and maintenance of balanced communities
What decided it
The dwelling is located in an area of low HMO concentration (5.8%) and the modest harm from loss of a family home would be outweighed by the increased housing choice a small HMO would provide.
The modest harm from the loss of a family-sized dwelling was outweighed by the increased choice of accommodation a small HMO would provide for those on lower incomes, younger people, and those living alone.
