Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect on the character of the area, and supply and mix of housing in the area
  • whether the rear flat and side extension flat afford adequate living conditions to their occupants with regard to internal space
  • the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regard to noise and disturbance
  • whether the appeal site is in a suitably accessible location for the use alleged, taking into account any effect on on-street parking

What decided it

The development conflicts with clear development plan policies (DM01 and DM09) protecting residential character and controlling HMO provision, causes material harm to neighbouring living conditions through noise and disturbance, and the site lacks suitable accessibility for intensive residential use.
