Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the loss of a family sized dwelling against the wider need to create and maintain a balanced and sustainable community
- The living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties and the area with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The appeal property's unsuitability as a family home due to its location on a busy road and limited amenity space, combined with the absence of evidence demonstrating a specific need to resist HMOs in the area, meant the loss of family housing was not contrary to development plan policy.
