Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the availability of smaller family housing in the Borough, having regard to the Development Plan and the Framework
The effect on the living conditions of occupiers of adjoining residential property and on existing and future occupiers of the development, having regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The property does not meet the minimum size threshold for HMO conversion under Policy DM17:A, and the development causes significant adverse effects on both the availability of family housing and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.

Framework references: 62

Plan policies cited: Policy DM17:A, Policy SP2, Policy DM1, Policy DM17, Policy SP11

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
