Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring properties in relation to noise and disturbance
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The existing property already serves two flats with no occupancy limit and could accommodate high occupancy levels, meaning the proposed HMO would not generate activity substantially different from the existing situation to cause material harm to neighbouring living conditions or highway safety.
