Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character of the area with particular regard to impact upon local residents
  • the effect of the development on the availability of smaller family housing in the Borough

What decided it

The overconcentration of HMO uses in the locality causing adverse impacts on character and amenity, combined with the loss of a family dwelling in an area of identified shortage of small family homes, rendered the development contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to justify approval.
