Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the development would contribute to a balanced community
- the effect of the use on the living conditions of the occupants of nearby properties
What decided it
The development fails to accord with the development plan policies protecting dwellinghouses suitable for family occupation and regulating HMO concentration in an area already significantly over-represented by student housing.
The benefits of providing student accommodation and the Council's housing land supply position do not outweigh the conflict with development plan policies protecting housing mix and living conditions in an area of high HMO concentration.
