Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the stock of family housing in the borough
- The living conditions of existing and future occupiers, having regard to the standard of accommodation
- The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, having regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The loss of a family-sized dwelling in conflict with policies protecting the stock of small family homes, combined with unacceptable internal living conditions that do not meet required standards for HMO accommodation.
