Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties
  • The character of the area with particular regard to the mix and balance of housing
  • The living conditions of the appeal property's occupants with particular regard to outlook
  • Whether the development has resulted in the unacceptable loss of a family dwelling

What decided it

The appeal property was already established as a C4 HMO prior to the Article 4 Direction, so the development did not constitute a change from C3 to HMO and therefore did not trigger Policy H11's restrictions on HMO concentration.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy H10Policy H11Supplementary Planning Guidance Note 7 – Conversion of Buildings into Flats and Bedsits

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
