Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would comply with development plan policy regarding HMOs, with due regard to housing need as well as character and amenity
- The effect on the living conditions of residents of nearby properties with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal fails to demonstrate an identified need for an HMO and would cause significant harm to the character, amenity and living conditions of the residential cul-de-sac through the intensity and nature of occupation.
