Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on character of the surrounding area
- The effect on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance arising from occupation of the appeal property as a house in multiple occupation
- Whether or not the appeal property is in an appropriate location for occupation as a house in multiple occupation, with particular regard to need and accessibility
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character of the surrounding area and living conditions of neighbouring properties through intensive occupation patterns, and no identified need specific to this location has been demonstrated.
