Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development proposed would conflict with the aim of local planning policies to create or maintain balanced and mixed communities
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, having particular regard to noise, disturbance, overshadowing and parking provision
What decided it
The intensification of HMO use in an area already containing a significant concentration of student households and HMOs would undermine the local planning policy aim to create or maintain balanced and mixed communities.
The benefits of the proposal (provision of homes, accessible location, effective use of previously developed land) were outweighed by the conflict with the development plan policy requiring balanced and mixed communities in an area already significantly concentrated with HMOs and student households.
