Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the development on the character and appearance of the area with particular reference to the subdivision of the rear yard
- the effects of the development on the mix and balance of the community
What decided it
The proposal would provide a type of accommodation differing from the prevailing HMO-dominated area, making a positive contribution to housing mix and balance without introducing further HMO use or unacceptable intensification.
