Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the provision of family accommodation as part of the housing mix
- the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjoining residential properties and the residents in the area, with regard to noise and disturbance, property maintenance, waste disposal, parking and occupancy matters
What decided it
The effect on the housing mix of the area would be unacceptable, as the proposal would reinforce the concentration of HMO accommodation contrary to development plan policies emphasising family housing provision.
The acceptable living conditions impacts and the appellant's credentials as an accredited landlord did not outweigh the unacceptable harm to housing mix and the conflict with development plan policies requiring family accommodation provision.
