- Nilsson A
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would harm the supply of family housing within the Borough having regard to development plan policy
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with specific regard to built-in storage
- Whether sufficient refuse and recycling storage provision is made
What decided it
The loss of a larger house suitable for family accommodation combined with failures to provide adequate built-in storage and refuse/recycling facilities outweighed the minor benefit of additional HMO accommodation.
