Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character of the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with specific regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupants with regard to the provision of amenity space
- the effects of the development in relation to parking
What decided it
The Inspector's finding that the pattern of activity, noise, open space and parking demand generated by the HMO would not differ materially or harmfully from the established residential character of the surrounding area, contrary to the findings of the previously quashed decision.
