Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would result in harm to the living conditions of future and neighbouring residents of the property

What decided it

The two smallest bedrooms (3 and 7) would provide unacceptably cramped private accommodation for future residents, conflicting with Policies DM2 and DM13 which require a high standard of amenity and living conditions, and this harm could not be outweighed by the benefits of providing HMO accommodation.
