Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed development would result in an unacceptable loss of family housing
- Whether or not the proposed development would provide satisfactory cycle, refuse and recycling storage
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring residential properties, having regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The dwelling's size of 80sqm fell below the 120sqm policy requirement, making it unsuitable for HMO conversion and resulting in an unacceptable loss of family housing within a designated Family Housing Protection Zone.
The adverse impacts of unacceptable loss of family housing and inadequate cycle, refuse and recycling storage significantly and demonstrably outweighed the very limited benefits of the scheme when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
