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's strategy to manage HMO distribution and achieve balanced communities, and would undermine living conditions through increased disturbance in an area already experiencing high HMO concentrations.

Framework references: 56

Plan policies cited: Policy H6, Policy P10, saved Policy GP5
