Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The mix and balance of housing in the area
- The effect of the development on the Conservation Area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of adjacent neighbours with regard to loss of light and outlook
What decided it
The concentration of HMO accommodation in the area already exceeded the policy threshold, and the additional units would materially harm both the housing balance and the living conditions of adjacent neighbours.
