Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the development on the supply of family dwellings in the Borough
- The effects of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The development's conflict with the development plan's clear strategy to retain family housing stock, combined with the probable increase in noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupiers from the nature of HMO use, outweighed any benefits.
