Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the provision of family and houses of multiple occupation (HMOs) in the area
- the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular reference to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The unauthorised development results in the unacceptable loss of a unit of family accommodation in an area where adopted policy seeks to retain family housing and prevent overconcentration of HMOs.
