Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- 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 housing supply
- 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
What decided it
The proposal fails to demonstrate an identified need for HMO accommodation and would introduce an intensive pattern of occupation materially at odds with the quiet suburban residential character of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring properties.
