Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
Despite exceeding the 10% HMO threshold in the locality, the proposed development would not result in unacceptable harm to character and appearance given the low housing density, adequate parking and amenity provision, and absence of evidence of problems typically associated with HMO concentrations.
