Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal in terms of its suitability with local planning policies
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal would increase an HMO in an area already significantly concentrated with student accommodation (42-45%), contrary to policy H06's requirement to maintain balanced and mixed communities, and this policy conflict was not outweighed by the benefits of providing wheelchair-accessible bedrooms.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
