Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether it has been demonstrated that the operation and viability of the Public House use is not undermined by the building's subdivision to provide an HMO on the upper floors
- Whether it has been demonstrated that the development meets the area's strategic housing need, and could be secured as a long-term addition to the supply of low-cost housing
- Whether the development provides satisfactory living conditions for occupiers, with regard to external amenity space
- Whether the development provides suitable arrangements for cycle parking and refuse storage
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that the operation and viability of the Public House would not be undermined by the subdivision to provide an independent HMO, combined with failures to provide satisfactory living conditions regarding external amenity space and suitable cycle parking and refuse storage arrangements.
