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 effect of the development on the living conditions of nearby residents
What decided it
The proposal would conflict with the development plan strategy to manage HMO distribution and achieve balanced communities, and would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents through increased disturbance associated with C4 use in an area of high HMO concentration.
