Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to noise disturbance and refuse and recycling storage

What decided it

The proposal would not have an unacceptable impact on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, particularly regarding noise disturbance and refuse storage, and complies with the relevant development plan policies.

The intensification of use of an existing HMO was balanced against the established nature of HMO activity in the neighbourhood, the responsible management of the property, the compliance with the HMO density policy threshold, and the absence of material harm to neighbours, resulting in permission being granted.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy CP21 of the Brighton and Hove City Plan Part One (2016)Policy QD27 of the Brighton and Hove Local Plan 2005Policy SU10 of the Brighton and Hove Local Plan 2005
