Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the mix of housing types in the locality in the interests of achieving balanced communities
  • the living conditions of nearby residents

What decided it

The proposal would conflict with the development plan's strategic aim of managing HMO concentrations and retaining family housing in areas of high student accommodation, and would reduce living conditions for neighbouring residents through increased noise and disturbance.
