Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would conflict with the aims of national policy to create balanced communities, having regard to the level of housing in multiple occupation in the vicinity of the site, and its effect on residential character
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, privacy, noise and other disturbance
- Whether the proposal would result in increased demand for parking on the surrounding streets, and if so whether it would be harmful to highway safety
What decided it
The fallback position that each dwelling could be converted to an HMO without planning permission, combined with the ability to secure adequate mitigation through conditions, meant the proposal would not cause unacceptable harm to character, living conditions or highway safety.
